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).

their will at any point, tied, locked in, held at gunpoint or taken away; it is NOT the

Assailants of Israeli tourists stole around $700,000 in bitcoin
Eleven Israeli nationals were at a social event when they were violently approached by a group of at least eight individuals.
The attackers targeted a group of Israelis at Santa Teresa beach in Cóbano, Puntarenas, and reportedly succeeded in stealing about $700,000 worth of bitcoin.
Eleven Israelis were engaged in a social gathering when at least eight men arrived in two luxury vehicles and violently confronted them (see attached video by Telenoticias).
The Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ) believes those who attacked the Israeli tourist group may have police training.
It is unclear whether all Israelis live in Costa Rica or were just visiting, but they were gagged and forced to hand over their belongings.
Telenoticias confirmed they managed to steal at least $700,000 in bitcoin, leading to suspicions that someone close to the victims knew about their financial movements.
Security camera footage shows several of the criminals moving the victims from place to place, wearing what appear to be police uniforms and shirts.

Asaltantes de turistas israelíes sustrajeron unos $700 mil en bitcoin | Teletica
Once personas de nacionalidad israelí estaban en una actividad social cuando fueron abordados violentamente por un grupo de al menos ocho sujetos.
Por Álvaro Sánchez 8 de agosto de 2024, 19:44 PM
Los asaltantes de un grupo de israelíes en playa Santa Teresa de Cóbano, en Puntarenas, habrían logrado sustraer unos 700 mil dólares en bitcoin.
Once personas de nacionalidad israelí estaban en una actividad social cuando fueron abordados violentamente por un grupo de al menos ocho sujetos que llegaron en dos vehículos de alto valor (vea video adjunto de Telenoticias).
El Organismo de Investigación Judicial (OIJ) considera que los que asaltaron al grupo de turistas israelíes, tendrían entrenamiento policial.
No está claro si todos los israelíes viven en Costa Rica o estaban de visita, lo cierto es que fueron amordazados y obligados a entregar sus pertenencias.
Telenoticias confirmó que lograron sustraer al menos 700 mil dólares en bitcoin, razón por la cual se sospecha que alguien cercano sabía de los movimientos financieros de los afectados.
En un video de una cámara de seguridad se observa que varios de los delincuentes trasladan a las víctimas de un lugar a otro y que cuentan con lo que parecen ser uniformes y camisas policiales.
