StellarCrowandClaude Fable 5.1 499fd61f79 feat(sources): fetch linked URLs for the 252 spreadsheet-only cases
Until now only cases 357+ (plus a few older ones) had their linked URLs
fetched; the other 252 dossiers held just the text pasted into the
spreadsheet, often only the lede. This pass fetches every linked URL for
those cases so the full text is on file before link rot takes it.

- stage_all.py: new --include-sheet-cases flag that lifts the skip on
  cases holding spreadsheet articles. Resumable as before.
- staging/: raw extracts and index.json for the 252 cases.
- sourced-articles.json, case-files-manifest.json: 188 new UNTRIMMED
  blocks. 179 cases gained at least one fetched article; 73 got none
  (49 BLOCKED, 18 THIN, 9 DEAD, 4 video/social, 3 ERROR).
- sources/*.txt: rebuilt with build_cases.py --all. Sheet pastes are
  kept; fetched blocks sit beside them under the NOT YET TRIMMED banner.
  Files previously committed with CRLF are now LF.
- wayback-availability.json: Wayback snapshots exist for 73 of the 98
  failed URL slots; input for an archive-fetch pass.
- README-START-HERE.md: progress note and next step.

verify_all.py PASSES (1836 checks).

4 suspects arrested in Montreal kidnapping
Kidnappers allegedly ambushed couple in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville district, police say
Montreal police have arrested four suspects in connection with the alleged kidnapping and confinement of a couple in their 20s on March 10.
Police say the motive was to steal cryptocurrency, credit cards and other goods.
The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) said Monday that the first three suspects, aged 18 and 19, were arrested on May 8 in Montreal. They appeared at the courthouse to face charges including kidnapping, forcible confinement, robbery and unauthorized possession of a firearm.
The fourth suspect, a 21-year-old, was arrested at the Calgary International Airport on Friday after fleeing Quebec. He will be returned to Montreal this week to appear at the courthouse.
The SPVM also reported that searches in Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles and Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve boroughs resulted in the seizure of a loaded firearm, ammunition, and a device for converting a pistol into an automatic weapon (Glock switch).
According to the police, a man and a woman in their 20s were ambushed in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville district.
Late in the evening, armed and hooded suspects appeared and ordered them to board two separate vehicles.
A few hours later, the two victims were found in Dorval, one with facial injuries. Both victims are currently "doing well," said police.
The kidnappers allegedly succeeded in robbing the couple of nearly $25,000 in cryptocurrency, credit cards and certain goods that the victims had in their possession.
The investigation is ongoing, with the SPVM indicating the possible involvement of other individuals.
