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).

Thieves Steal Two Bitcoin ATMs in Amsterdam
Bitcoin ATM at Hofje van Wijn on Zeedijk
Two out of the six Bitcoin ATMs in Amsterdam have been stolen in recent weeks. These ATMs, which allowed customers to pay with the virtual currency, were located at Thais restaurant Warie's Thai Food on Rozengracht and at café 't Hofje van Wijs on Zeedijk. The theft at 't Hofje is particularly painful as it is considered Amsterdam's bitcoin embassy.
The theft is also a financial blow. The ATM at Warie's not only accepted bitcoin payments but also allowed for cash deposits, such as euros, to be exchanged. The equipment for this was valued at approximately 8700 euros. The ATM at 't Hofje was valued at around 2600 euros.
Keeping Quiet
The theft was noticed by the website Coin ATM Radar, which tracks the locations of bitcoin machines. The two Amsterdam machines suddenly stopped working. "We actually wanted to keep the news quiet," says Martin Wismeijer of the bitcoin collective Mr. Bitcoin, owner of the ATM on the Wallen, "because we were afraid that too much publicity would hinder the police investigation."
He doesn't want to reveal many details. The machines were stolen over the past four weeks, and there is no trace of the perpetrators. "I was really shocked when I heard that the machine had been stolen, especially since I paid for it with my own savings."
Foetsie
Since there is no official bitcoin bank, any euros deposited or received through the machines belong to the people who deposited or received them. This has also disappeared with the theft. This is probably why the thieves did it.
The machines cannot be used as is. As soon as they go online, they will be detected. Additionally, the software is secured. The theft does not deter Wismeijer. Last week, Mr. Bitcoin installed a payment ATM at the Mediamarkt on the Arenaboulevard.
"We will continue to set up machines because they are an important part of the success of bitcoin. They make the currency a bit less virtual." New machines are now insured against theft.

Two Bitcoin ATMs Stolen In Amsterdam
Regular, cash dispensing ATMs have been a prime target for robberies since the technology was first born. But ATMs that dispense crypto-currency have had a more peaceful existence with no reported thefts. That is, until now. Late last month, two Bitcoin ATMs were stolen from two different businesses in Amsterdam.
Martijn Wismeijer, founder of the first “bitcoin atm collective,” Mr.Bitcoin, installed one of the machines that was stolen. “About two weeks ago, at Warries Thai food the door was forced and [thieves] removed the BitAccess ATM. This ATM was not owned by Mr.Bitcoin but we know the owner of the restaurant.” He went on to say, “The other ATM at Hofje van Wijs was a General Bytes unit, owned and installed by MrBitcoin. The burglars forced their way into the venue at 6:55 AM and also went for the safe, cash register and of course, the Bitcoin ATM.”
According to Wismeijer, the owners of the restaurants contacted the police as soon as they found out. “We kept it quiet while police were doing their research […] I do not expect anything from the police, this is Amsterdam.”
Whether the machines are ever returned, they will be of little value to the thieves. “The ATMs are useless as they are remotely disabled and contain no Bitcoin or other crypto. They can’t be switched on anymore as that would reveal the IP to the owner. We contacted the factory to disable the ATMs with these serials and [to] warn us if someone wants to enable them,” he said.
“They will have some fiat. These belong to the individual traders. Mr.Bitcoin lost the ATMs and the locations. All crypto is secured and should the ATM be moved or disabled, the connection to the ATM host is immediately cut. We keep most of our crypto in cold storage anyway so the crypto itself was never at risk,” he said.
The robbery of the ATMs leaves only two Bitcoin ATMs remaining in Amsterdam, which are located in Cafe Kobalt and Media Markt. Mr.Bitcoin said that currently the owners of the restaurants have not ordered new bitcoin atms to replace the stolen ones and currently do not have plans to do so.
Mr.Bitcoin operates 11 crypto-currency ATMs in numerous European countries, including England, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. This theft marks the first ATM ever stolen from the company.
