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).

The businessman from Cluj who claims that he was tortured for the password of the crypto wallet was, in fact, drunk at the wheel
A Cluj-based businessman claimed on Wednesday that he had been kidnapped by several men and tortured to reveal to them the password from his cryptocurrency wallet. Filip Stan
18 Jan. 2024, 10:14
The man, the owner of a well-known restaurant in Cluj, was involved in a light road accident and the police later discovered that he had drunkenly got behind the wheel.
The machine indicated an alcohol level of 0.76.
He told the agents that he was sequestered in a hall and tortured. The assailants would have left him even without a finger. They would have wanted access to the businessmans virtual wallet, where he would have cryptocurrencies of over 950,000 lei.
The man claims that he gave them the access code to release him. Police have found nothing on surveillance cameras in the area to confirm the man's words, but are still investigating.
Initially, the businessman made no complaints, but had to give explanations to the police after a road accident. It all came to light shortly before 6 a.m. when a police crew was directed to a car involved in a road event. When they reached the car stopped on the side of the road, the agents saw the driver injured, with a severed finger and full of blood. It was tested and resulted in an alcohol level of 0.76 milligrams per liter, pure alcohol in the exhaled air.
“On January 16, around 05.45, in Cluj-Napoca was registered a road event involving a man, 42 years old, under the influence of alcoholic beverages. Respectively 0.76 mg/l of pure alcohol in the exhaled air,” the police said.
As it was a slight accident, the police asked him what happened and transported him to the hospital, where the whole story was found. The owner told law enforcement that he was tortured by three masked individuals in a hall on the outskirts of the city. The assault was based on the secret code of access to the cryptocurrency wallet, where, the Cluj claim, it would have about $200,000.

ORIGINAL (unknown, verbatim as retrieved)
Afaceristul din Cluj care susţine că a fost torturat pentru parola portofelului cripto era, de fapt, beat la volan
Un afacerist din Cluj a susţinut miercuri că ar fi fost răpit de mai mulţi bărbaţi şi torturat pentru a le dezvălui acestora parola de la portofelul său de criptomonede.
Bărbatul, patronul unui cunoscut restaurant din Cluj, a fost implicat într-un accident rutier ușor iar polițiștii au descoperit ulterior că acesta urcase beat la volan.
Aparatul a indicat o alcoolemie de 0,76.
El a povestit agenților că a fost sechestrat într-o hală și torturat. Agresorii l-ar fi lăsat chiar fără un deget. Aceștia ar fi vrut obțină accesul la portofelul virtual al afaceristului, unde ar avea criptomonede de peste 950.000 de lei.
Bărbatul susține că le-a dat codul de acces, ca să îl elibereze. Polițiștii nu au găsit nimic pe camerele de supraveghere din zonă care să confirme spusele bărbatului, dar fac cercetări în continuare.

Inițial, omul de afaceri nu a făcut nici o plângere, dar a trebuit să dea explicații poliției după un accident rutier. Totul a ieșit la iveală cu puțin timp înainte de ora 6 dimineața, când un echipaj de poliție a fost direcționat spre o mașină implicată într-un eveniment rutier. Când au ajuns la autoturismul oprit pe marginea drumului, agenții l-au văzut pe șofer rănit, cu un deget secționat și plin de sânge. Acesta a fost testat și a rezultat o alcoolemie de 0,76 miligrame per litru, alcool pur în aer expirat.
„La data de 16 ianuarie a.c., în jurul orei 05.45, în municipiul Cluj-Napoca a fost înregistrat un eveniment rutier în care a fost implicat un bărbat, de 42 de ani, aflat sub influența băuturilor alcoolice. Respectiv 0,76 mg/l alcool pur în aerul expirat”, precizează poliţia.
Cum a fost vorba despre un accident ușor, polițiștii l-au întrebat ce s-a petrecut și l-au transportat la spital, unde s-a și aflat întreaga poveste. Patronul le-a povestit oamenilor legii că ar fi fost torturat de trei indivizi mascați, într-o hală de la marginea orașului. Agresiunea a avut la bază codul secret de acces la portofelul electronic de criptomonede, unde, susține clujeanul, ar avea circa 200.000 de dolari.
