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).

(flag legend: 'kidnappings' is the DETENTION flag — 1 when the victim was held against
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.)
AI SUMMARY [revised on review, verified against the sources in this file. Live DB still holds the shorter bulk-import summary — apply this to it.]
**Victims:** A 23-year-old man in Maisons-Alfort, France, and his partner, who was used to deliver the ransom.
**Attackers:** A well-informed team plus an accomplice who collected the ransom; the number was not specified and no arrests were reported in this case.
**Attack Method:** In a carefully planned operation on 17 June 2025, the couple went shopping by car; while the man waited to park, his partner was drawn away by a fake message about a work emergency and went home alone. A video call then instructed her to leave a Ledger crypto wallet and €5,000 in cash in a bag outside the building.
**Violence Used:** Detention — the man was held and later released in Créteil; investigators say the man was subjected to violence to make him reveal the wallet and ransom details.
**Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** The abductors demanded a Ledger hardware wallet plus €5,000 in cash; the partner left the bag and an accomplice collected it, though it is not known whether the wallet held any funds.
**Status:** Around 5 p.m. the man, released in Créteil, reached his partner unharmed. The Val-de-Marne judicial police opened an inquiry for kidnapping and organised detention, calling it a sensitive case amid a run of similar crypto-wallet abductions.

Cryptocurrency for Ransom: Man Kidnapped in Maisons-Alfort for His Ledger Key
June 20, 2025 2 minutes read BY Patrice Clech
Cryptocurrency for Ransom: Man Kidnapped in Maisons-Alfort for His Ledger Key
A 23-year-old man was kidnapped on Tuesday in Maisons-Alfort. His abductors, who were well-informed, demanded a cash ransom and the handover of a key containing cryptocurrency. The case is now in the hands of the judicial police.
A meticulously planned kidnapping
The scenario begins ordinarily: a couple goes shopping by car. The man stays in the car to find a parking spot, while his companion enters a store. But soon, she receives a message mentioning a professional emergency. A diversion. She returns home alone, unaware that her partner has been kidnapped. The trap snaps shut when a video call disrupts the routine. On the screen, an unknown person gives precise instructions: to deposit a Ledger key a device used to store cryptocurrencies along with 5,000 euros in cash, in a bag to be left in front of the building. The man, according to investigators, would have been subjected to violence to reveal these details.
A ransom paid, a victim released
Without notifying the authorities, the young woman follows the instructions. An accomplice comes to pick up the bag. It is only several hours later, around 5 PM, that the young man, released in Créteil, manages to contact her. He is safe and sound. For now, it is impossible to know if the key actually contained funds. The judicial police of Val-de-Marne have been notified for kidnapping and organized sequestration. A source close to the case speaks of a "sensitive dossier," against a backdrop of a resurgence of similar cases involving cryptocurrency wallets. The brigade for the repression of banditry remains mobilized, as arrests have already taken place in other similar cases. The kidnapped young man, for his part, remains discreet for now, and the investigators continue their investigations in the strictest secrecy.

ORIGINAL (unknown, verbatim as retrieved)
Cryptomonnaie contre rançon : un homme enlevé à Maisons-Alfort pour sa clé Ledger Entrevue
Un jeune homme de 23 ans a été séquestré mardi à Maisons-Alfort. Ses ravisseurs, très informés, ont exigé une rançon en liquide et la remise dune clé contenant de la cryptomonnaie. Laffaire est désormais entre les mains de la police judiciaire.
Un enlèvement planifié dans les moindres détails
Le scénario commence banalement : un couple part faire des courses en voiture. Lhomme reste au volant pour chercher une place, pendant que sa compagne entre dans un magasin. Mais rapidement, celle-ci reçoit un message évoquant un imprévu professionnel. Une diversion. Elle rentre seule au domicile, sans se douter que son compagnon a été enlevé. Le piège se referme lorsquun appel en visio bouleverse la routine. À l’écran, un inconnu donne des instructions précises : déposer une clé Ledger dispositif utilisé pour stocker des cryptomonnaies accompagnée de 5 000 euros en espèces, dans un sac à remettre devant limmeuble. Lhomme, selon les enquêteurs, aurait subi des violences pour livrer ces informations.
Une rançon exécutée, une victime relâchée
Sans prévenir les autorités, la jeune femme suit les consignes. Un complice passe récupérer le sac. Ce nest que plusieurs heures plus tard, vers 17 heures, que le jeune homme, relâché à Créteil, parvient à rentrer en contact avec elle. Il est sain et sauf. Pour lheure, impossible de savoir si la clé contenait effectivement des fonds. La police judiciaire du Val-de-Marne a été saisie pour enlèvement et séquestration en bande organisée. Une source proche de laffaire évoque un « dossier sensible », sur fond de recrudescence daffaires similaires impliquant des portefeuilles de cryptomonnaies. La brigade de répression du banditisme reste mobilisée, alors que des interpellations ont déjà eu lieu dans dautres dossiers du même type. Le jeune homme enlevé, lui, reste pour linstant discret, et les enquêteurs poursuivent leurs investigations dans le plus grand secret.
