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).

ORIGINAL (unknown, verbatim as retrieved)
Une femme coupable de séquestration | Un influenceur en cryptomonnaie battu à mort dans une « salle de torture »
Ne jamais admettre un crime dans son journal intime. Joanie Lepage n’a manifestement pas réfléchi aux conséquences quand elle a écrit dans un calepin avoir naïvement prêté son sous-sol à une connaissance, qui y aurait battu à mort l’influenceur Kevin Mirshahi, l’année dernière.
Joanie Lepage, 32 ans, a admis jeudi avoir séquestré trois amis de Kevin Mirshahi, l’influenceur en cryptomonnaie retrouvé mort en octobre 2024.
Toxicomane, elle a fait preuve d’aveuglement volontaire en prêtant son sous-sol à une connaissance qui voulait dérober le portefeuille de cryptomonnaie du jeune homme.
À l’insu de Mme Lepage, les malfaiteurs ont transformé l’endroit en véritable salle de torture, où ils ont enfermé Kevin Mirshahi pour le battre à mort.
Des documents judiciaires révèlent les dessous de cette sordide affaire.
Joanie Lepage, 32 ans, a plaidé coupable jeudi à une accusation de séquestration. Elle a admis avoir loué le sous-sol de sa maison mobile à une connaissance, affirmant qu’elle n’avait pas conscience de son projet : enlever l’influenceur Kevin Mirshahi pour dérober son portefeuille de cryptomonnaie.
Une des preuves se trouvait dans son journal intime. « Le 21 juin 2024, 3000 $, prêter mon sous-sol à des gens peut gentils… ? Fuck oui (avec un emoji de bonhomme sourire) XD !!! », a-t-elle écrit dans un carnet retrouvé par les enquêteurs.
Kevin Mirshahi, 25 ans, a été retrouvé mort dans un terrain boisé à Montréal, en 2024. Lui et trois de ses amis avaient été enlevés et séquestrés chez Joanie Lepage, une femme aux prises avec des problèmes de toxicomanie.
Elle n’a jamais vu les victimes et ignorait tout de la mort de l’influenceur.
« Il s’agit d’un cas d’aveuglement volontaire », a expliqué le procureur de la Couronne, Me Patrick Cardinal, au palais de justice de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
Battu à mort dans une « salle de torture »
Les documents déposés à l’enquête sur remise en liberté de Joanie Lepage, l’année dernière, détaillent le triste sort réservé à Kevin Mirshahi et aux trois autres victimes. La jeune femme n’a pas admis l’entièreté de cette trame narrative.
Le 21 juin 2024, l’influenceur ainsi que deux femmes et un homme sont enlevés par des inconnus encagoulés et armés. Kevin Mirshahi est en caleçon, affolé.
« Ils l’ont traîné comme une vidange », relate l’une des autres victimes en parlant de l’influenceur, dans un interrogatoire mené par la police.
Les quatre victimes sont conduites, les yeux bandés, au sous-sol de la résidence de Joanie Lepage, située à Les Cèdres, en Montérégie.
Kevin Mirshahi et un ami sont alors enfermés dans une pièce grise et glauque, au plancher jonché de mégots de cigarettes. On y retrouve un bidon d’eau de Javel, des masques protecteurs, une chaise et une corde.
L’influenceur est attaché sur une chaise avec du ruban adhésif. Plusieurs individus se relaient pour le rouer de coups.
« C’était un passage à tabac », confie aux policiers un témoin de l’agression.
Les ravisseurs ont un seul but : s’emparer du portefeuille de cryptomonnaie du richissime influenceur. Ils demandent le code de son téléphone.
Le jeune homme succombe à ses blessures alors qu’il suffoque dans une mare de sang. On l’enroule dans la toile d’un abri Tempo. La salle est ensuite lavée à l’eau de Javel.
Pendant ce temps, les deux femmes kidnappées sont assises dans une autre pièce au sous-sol, où se trouvent un divan, une fournaise en métal et un trou avec de l’eau pour uriner.
Le « boss » du groupe confie à l’une d’elles qu’ils sont « des professionnels. » « Il n’y aura aucun survivant, mais on peut trouver un compromis. Vous êtes les gens kidnappés les plus le fun qu’on a eus ! », dit-il à sa captive.
Joanie Lepage est à l’étage. Elle ne descend jamais au sous-sol, ne croise pas les victimes et ne participe pas aux attaques sur Kevin Mirshahi.
La Sûreté du Québec lancera une enquête quand la disparition de l’influenceur sera signalée, le lendemain de l’enlèvement.
En août 2024, les enquêteurs saisissent un calepin avec l’inscription « Joanie L. », qui est en fait le journal intime de Joanie Lepage.
Les écrits laissent peu de place au doute :
« 72 heures maximum peu pu attendre qu’ils disparaisse et que l’odeur d’eau de Javel parte !!! »
« Le silence est d’or, la parole est d’argent. Ne pose jamais de questions… »
Quelques pages de notes portent la mention « Alibi ».
Joanie Lepage est interrogée par des policiers le 22 août 2024. Elle explique alors ne pas connaître les victimes et se décrit comme « nounoune et naïve ».
« J’ai fait un mauvais choix », dit-elle. Elle avoue avoir des problèmes d’argent et de toxicomanie.
Elle jure ne rien savoir du kidnapping. Elle croyait plutôt prêter son logis pour une affaire de drogue.
Mme Lepage, défendue par Me Patrick Davis, retournera au palais de justice de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield en janvier prochain. Trois autres hommes ont été accusés dans le dossier de Kevin Mirshahi et sont en attente de procès dans cette affaire.

Crypto influencer’s death: Quebec police seek man in high-profile case | Globalnews.ca

Quebec provincial police are asking for the public’s help in locating a man they allege was involved in the high-profile killing case of a cryptocurrency influencer.
The Sûreté du Québec issued a notice Friday in search of 36-year-old Guillaume Nobert of Saint-Lazare, Que. Investigators say Nobert is wanted in connection with the death of Kevin Mirshahi and the forcible confinement of three other people.
It is the latest development in the months-long investigation, which has led to the arrests and charges of three other people to date.
Mirshahi, 25, disappeared after he and three other people in their 20s were kidnapped from the parking garage of his Old Montreal condo building on June 21. Three of the abductees — two women and a man — were found alive the following day in western Montreal, but Mirshahi remained missing.
By August, investigators had concluded Mirshahi had been killed. Police arrested Joanie Lepage, 32, of Les Cèdres, 45 kilometres southwest of Montreal. Lepage was charged with first-degree murder, forcible confinement and accessory after the fact to murder on Aug. 22.

2 more arrests in death of Montreal cryptocurrency influencer | CBC News
Two more people have been arrested in connection with the death of a cryptocurrency influencer whose body was found in a Montreal nature park last month.
Darius Perry, 27, and Nackael Hickey, 25, charged with kidnapping

Quebec provincial police said Tuesday that Darius Perry, a 27-year-old from Châteauguay, Que., and Nackael Hickey, a 25-year-old from Montreal, are charged with kidnapping and being accessories after the alleged murder of Kevin Mirshahi.
Joanie Lepage, 32, has already been charged with first-degree murder in the case.
Mirshahi was kidnapped early on June 21 from a luxury condo in Old Montreal.
Three other people were kidnapped from the condo at the same time. Those people were found hours later, near a bus stop in Montreal's west end.
But Mirshahi remained missing. His body was found in L'Île-de-la-Visitation Nature Park on Oct. 30, in the borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville.
Body found in Montreal nature park was that of kidnapped cryptocurrency influencer, police say
Police also located a burned-out SUV that is believed to have been used to transport the victims.
Based on the victims' testimony, police were able to locate a home in Les Cèdres, in the Montérégie region, where police believe Mirshahi's alleged murder took place.
Mirshahi was the subject of an investigation beginning in 2021 by Quebec's investment regulator, known as l'Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF).
According to public records, he was the owner and operator of a private group on the messaging app Telegram known as "Crypto Paradise Island" with 2,500 members, and used other social media platforms, such as Instagram and Snapchat to promote cryptocurrency.
In July 2024, the AMF extended an order on Mirshahi, as well as a company and two other individuals, prohibiting their activity as a "broker or investment adviser" as well as a ban on securities transactions and the withdrawal of certain social media publications.
