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.)

Crypto theft in Chalon-sur-Saône — Six men arrested after four attempts on the same victim - Today's Crypto News
Whether the market is bullish or bearish, criminal groups targeting cryptocurrency holders don’t seem to be bothered by such details. Proof of this can be found in the four kidnapping attempts carried out in the Chalon-sur-Saône region against a single victim.
Attempted kidnapping of a cryptocurrency holder in Chalon-sur-Saône
The string of incidents continues in France, despite the arrest last June of the alleged mastermind of an organized gang responsible for several such cases since 2023, who had been holed up in Morocco. The crimes involved kidnappings and torture to extort fortunes held in cryptocurrencies.
These operations are often meticulously planned and involve several coordinated individuals, as in the recent case revealed yesterday by the Journal de Saône-et-Loire. A cryptocurrency investor from the Chalon-sur-Saône region, clearly identified as a lucrative target, narrowly escaped a kidnapping attempt.
🪙 Six men were arrested and taken into custody in Chalon-sur-Saône. They are suspected of attempting to kidnap a man who owns cryptocurrency. For the fourth time.https://t.co/8vt1kh3Jgq
— Le Journal de Saône-et-Loire (@lejsl) November 25, 2025
According to available information, six men, including two minors, participated in this criminal operation to seize funds held in their target’s crypto wallet and then demand a “digital ransom” for its release.
The attempted kidnapping was interrupted by the arrival of the police on the scene and the arrest of all the members of the gang in action on November 22. They were immediately taken into custody in Chalon-sur-Saône for questioning, which revealed a disturbing level of determination.
An arrest after four unsuccessful attempts
According to initial findings from the ongoing investigation, this aborted kidnapping attempt was not the first orchestrated by this gang. Even more troubling is the fact that the operation in Chalon-sur-Saône followed four other unsuccessful attempts… against the same target. Indeed, the first two operations orchestrated against this cryptocurrency holder were clearly unsuccessful, while the third was interrupted by a welcome intervention from the police, but did not lead to any arrests.
This relentless pursuit is troubling, considering that the police intervention during the third attempt should have put an end to this string of attacks against one and the same person. However, the perpetrators’ motivation seems to have remained intact in the face of the prospect of emptying his crypto wallets.
