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.)

The body of a famous Chinese businessman was found in the Istanbul district of Türkiye – London CLUP
The remains of a Chinese businessman named Yun Wang were discovered in the Istanbul Arnavutkoy district of Türkiye. His disappearance was reported on January 24. Police, after locating his car using GPS signals, discovered the body. Ten people suspected of involvement in this case were detained in China at the request of Interpol.
According to the Turkish publication Hürriyet, the body of Chinese businessman Yun Wang, 38 years old, was found in Arnavutkoy, one of the districts of Istanbul, who was allegedly robbed before being killed. This businessman was reported missing to the police by his lawyer on January 24. Businessman disappeared in the western district of Istanbul – Bakirkoy.
Law enforcement officers were able to detect GPS signals emitted from Yong Wang's vehicle, which helped determine his last known location. At the scene, police found tools such as shovels and hoes that could be used to bury the body. Soon, Yun Wang's body was discovered at the farm. The deceased's hands and feet were tied and his mouth was sealed.
It is believed that the criminals may have ties to China and received information about Vann's whereabouts through a woman who had contact with him. It is believed that they hit the businessman on the head with a hard object and took his cryptocurrency wallet.
Ten suspects have been placed on the international wanted list through Interpol and, according to available data, have been detained in China.

Missing Chinese businessman found buried in Istanbul, suspects caught in China - Türkiye Today
The body of Yong Wang, a 38-year-old Chinese businessman who had been reported missing in Istanbul, was found buried in a field in the Arnavutkoy district, with his hands, feet, and mouth bound with packing tape.
Investigators determined he was killed in an attempted robbery, and Turkish prosecutors launched a criminal investigation that later led to an Interpol red notice being issued for 10 suspects, who were subsequently detained in China.
Missing-person report set the investigation in motion
Wang was reported missing on Jan. 24 after his lawyer filed a missing-person application with the Bakirkoy District Police Department.
Police teams then took up the case and began tracking the vehicle Wang had been using by reviewing its GPRS signal data, a location-tracking system that can help establish where a device or vehicle was last detected.
Vehicle signal pointed police to Arnavutkoy
The signal review showed the vehicle was last seen in a field in the Baklali neighborhood in Arnavutkoy.
As teams moved into searching the area, they found digging tools, including a pickaxe and shovels, which led to a more detailed sweep of the site.
Body recovered; hands and feet bound with packing tape
After further work in the field, Wang’s body was recovered from a buried location.
According to the findings by the Missing Persons Bureau under the Istanbul Police Department’s Public Order Branch, Wang had been buried with his hands, feet, and mouth bound using packing tape.
Probe linked killing to an alleged robbery attempt
As the investigation was carried on, authorities determined that the victim was a businessman and that he was allegedly killed by people who were trying to take his money.
A criminal investigation was launched by the on-duty prosecutor’s office in Gaziosmanpasa.
Interpol notice issued; 10 suspects detained in China
Within the scope of the probe, 10 people were identified as suspects and an arrest decision was issued through Interpol, the international police cooperation body that helps countries track and detain fugitives across borders.
