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).

Wow, the Bitcoin community has really exploded recently! A 35-year-old software engineer from Chengdu, Wang Shu (a pseudonym), was actually scammed by someone claiming to be 'Bitcoin Genius' and lost 6 Bitcoins—worth $400,000! This sounds like a movie plot, but it's a real event that happened in 2025. Here's what happened:
Wang Shu met this 'Genius' on Twitter last August, whose profile picture was of a young woman claiming to be a cryptocurrency trader. As they chatted, they added each other on Telegram, and their relationship escalated quickly. Then, 'Genius' made a bold move, saying she could entice Wang Shu with physical trade. He was intrigued.
On December 1, they arranged to meet at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Chengdu, and just when it seemed like things were about to go well, a 'Li Shaolin' suddenly appeared, claiming to be 'Genius's' friend, along with a group of people who barged in to set up a 'honey trap.' Wang Shu was terrified and was forced to transfer 6 Bitcoins by 8:45, after which the scammers vanished without a trace.
But it didn't end there; on March 21, 'Bitcoin Genius' was still posting harassing messages on Twitter, clearly indicating a phishing scam ring. Netizens were outraged, with some saying, 'Isn't this just the cryptocurrency version of a honey trap?' Others warned, '0.1 Bitcoin for one night? Brothers, don't believe it; 60,000 RMB just vanished like that!'
The police have intervened to investigate and remind everyone to stay vigilant, especially those who are believers in cryptocurrency—don't let faith turn into an ATM. Onlookers remarked that this plot is too thrilling; the romantic fantasy of Bitcoin hasn't even begun before reality slapped it hard. Wang Shu's actions are likely to become a classic case in the cryptocurrency community in 2025. What do you all think? Does this incident add a touch of dark humor to Bitcoin's 'trust ledger'?
