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).

Boynton Beach man accused of robbing $28K in Bitcoins deal, deputies say
Andre Allen, 34, of West Boynton, is accused of robbing a man of $28,000 when a man was trying to exchange the cash for Bitcoins in a Boston Market parking lot.
A man thought his $28,000 business transaction around midnight in the parking lot of a West Palm Beach Boston Market would go smoothly. Instead, it ended in armed robbery, according to a Palm Beach Sheriff's arrest report.
Deputies arrested Andre Allen, 34, of West Boynton as one of two men involved in the robbery.
The incident happened early Monday when Steve Manos, 32, of Lake Worth, met with two men, whom, he told deputies, he had done business with several times before. He wanted to exchange $28,000 in cash for Bitcoins, a digital currency for online transactions.
The exchange took place outside the restaurant at 2024 Military Trail. One of the men got into the front passenger seat of Manos' car, while the second man sat behind Manos, according to the report.
Manos handed over 28 bundles of $1,000 in a gift bag. The front seat passenger took out a laptop to finish the exchange, but he also pulled out a knife. He pressed it to Manos' chest, Manos told deputies.
Manos told the men to just take the money and leave. But a struggle ensued as the backseat passenger tried to grab Manos' gun out of the driver's door pocket.
The two robbers ran with the money. Manos chased them, but couldn't keep up, the report said. The suspects got into a Acura, and sped off.
Manos gave deputies a phone number he had used to contact one of the suspects to set up previous transactions. The deputies linked that number to Allen, and Manos picked him out of a photo lineup, according to the report.
Deputies arrested Allen the next day. He faces armed robbery, burglary and battery charges and is being held in Palm Beach County Jail on $31,000 bond.
