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).

Montreal police (SPVM) said on Thursday that officers arrested three men in connection with a kidnapping and violent $15,000 cryptocurrency theft in Verdun last summer.
Two suspects were apprehended in Toronto and the third in Montreals Southwest borough on March 11.
Lévi Steward-Barachin, 34; Daniel Mosiah Honoré-McFarlane, 30; and Omar Abdul Singateh, 23, are facing breaking and entering, forcible confinement, aggravated assault, extortion and other charges in relation to the Aug. 15 event where police say three armed suspects burst into a Verdun apartment.
“They tied up the victim, a man in his 30s who ran his own cryptocurrency business,” the SPVM said in a news release. “He was then beaten and tortured by his assailants for several hours. After succeeding in obtaining from the victim the details required to enable a cryptocurrency transfer, the suspects fled.”
A relative found the victim, who was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Steward-Barachin is also facing drugs, weapons and false identification charges.
The three men remain in custody.
The SPVM partnered with Toronto and Peel police to conduct searches in Montreal, Toronto, and Brampton, where they seized various items for evidence.
Police believe other people could be linked to the Aug. 15 crime and are asking those with information to call 911 or 514-393-1133.
