StellarCrowandClaude Fable 5.1 439e83a4cb feat(sources): Wayback pass, automatic trimming, detention rule, ten cases re-sourced 
Second and third rounds on the dossier pipeline, reviewed locally before commit.

Retrieval
- wayback_pass.py: retries every BLOCKED/DEAD/THIN/ERROR linked source through
  the Wayback Machine; blocks carry the snapshot date, archive URL and the live
  verdict. 143 slots retried: 93 fetched, 37 no snapshot, 12 script shells, 1 PDF.
- fetch_sources.py: fetch_wayback() helper.
- add_extra_sources.py: files staged extra_* finds (web search, not on the DB
  record) into the store with a provenance note.
- Cases re-sourced by web search: 248 (Oslo: Document.no, Avisa Oslo, NRK; the
  linked Le Parisien piece is case 242 and is marked OFF-CASE), 258 Kharkiv,
  260 Singapore, 358 Bangkok, 365 Las Vegas, 388 Verneuil-sur-Seine, 390 Zoersel,
  430 Homestead. 341 of 364 cases now hold a fetched article; 11, 66 and 399
  have no public text source (podcast, police video, direct victim report).

Trimming
- auto_trim.py: case-anchored furniture cut for UNTRIMMED blocks. Finds the body
  run that mentions the case, merges across subheadings and short furniture
  gaps, drops teasers, share bars, date/URL/caption lines and subscription
  pitches; refuses pages with no record term or almost no body. 302 blocks
  trimmed; 16 left on auto-trim-review.md (7 OFF-CASE suspects). Every cut is
  labelled AUTO-TRIMMED, UNREVIEWED in the dossier; the full extract stays in
  staging/. Decisions with anchors in trim-decisions-auto.json.
- build_cases.py / verify_all.py: banners for auto-trimmed and archived blocks,
  staged-file check extended to Wayback blocks, flag legend under the record.

Detention rule
- README "Definitions": the DB field `kidnappings` is the DETENTION violence
  type (victim, guard, staff or relative held to force submission or execute
  the theft), distinct from the Kidnapping scenario (taken away and held).
- detention-flag-review.md / detention-flag-corrections.json: 40 records
  reviewed with evidence; 30 set-to-1 proposals accepted by the owner on
  2026-09-06 (listed in corrections-approved.md), 10 still open.
- apply_detention_wording.py: "Violence Used" in the 70 reviewed summaries now
  names detention explicitly (62 of 70 labelled), supported by the summary's
  own text; idempotent; supersedes the batch scripts' wording.

Worklist and docs
- sofia-worklist.md: 248 decisions, detention rule item replacing the old
  "no abduction" item, fresh-search section for the textless cases.
- README-START-HERE.md: progress notes, run commands, next steps.
- Bug fixed in passing: Wayback blocks stored in-memory text with carriage
  returns; now stored as read back from disk.

verify_all.py PASSES (2321 checks).

their will at any point, tied, locked in, held at gunpoint or taken away; it is NOT the
same as the 'Kidnapping' scenario, which means taken away and held. See README, Definitions.)

S$32,000 'cryptocurrency deal': S'pore police arrest 3 men, aged 20-29, for attempted robbery with hurt in Hougang
Two of the men, aged 20 and 21, were previously arrested.
The Singapore police have arrested three men, aged between 20 and 29, for their suspected involvement in a case of attempted robbery with hurt.
The police said in a Sep. 5 release that they were alerted to a case of robbery with hurt along Hougang Street 51 on Aug. 29 at about 7:55pm.
A 19-year-old male teenager was allegedly assaulted by an unknown man.
The teenager had apparently wanted to buy Tether, a cryptocurrency stablecoin also referred to as USDT. from a seller in an offline trade carried out face-to-face, it was previously reported.
Modus operandi
Through follow-up investigations, and with the aid of surveillance and police cameras, officers from Ang Mo Kio Police Division established the identities of the three men involved and arrested them between Aug. 30 and Sep. 3, 2024.
Preliminary investigations revealed that on Aug. 29, the teenager had received an offer from a 29-year-old man, Benedict Yee Hong Fai, on Telegram to meet up, reported The Straits Times.
This is so the pair could trade cryptocurrencies for cash, amounting to about S$32,000.
Investigations also revealed that the transaction was purportedly a sham.
Yee had allegedly arranged for two other men to assault the teenager with the intention of taking his money when he turned up.
While the teenager was waiting, he was confronted by the two men and was assaulted by one of them.
The teenager managed to leave the location with his money still in his possession before the man could take the money.
Yee charged on Sep. 5
Yee was charged in court with the offence of robbery with hurt on Sep. 5, according to ST.
If convicted, he could be jailed for up to 20 years and receive at least 12 strokes of the cane.
The other two men are assisting with investigations, said the police.
Background
It was previously reported that two men, aged 20 and 21, were arrested in relation to this incident.
The victim explained to Mothership that he chose to trade cryptocurrency offline as it was cheaper saying: "It's not reasonable to lose out on the fees and everything with my trading frequency."
He explained that fees came up to 1 to 2 per cent of the total price for each buying or selling trade.
The deal was for the seller to send USDT to the victim's crypto wallet in the exchange that he is using once he handed over the cash in person.
The victim apparently managed to shake off the three men by running towards Hougang Green Shopping Mall and then back home.
