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).

(flag legend: 'kidnappings' is the DETENTION flag — 1 when the victim was held against
their will at any point, tied, locked in, held at gunpoint or taken away; it is NOT the
same as the 'Kidnapping' scenario, which means taken away and held. See README, Definitions.)
AI SUMMARY [revised on review, verified against the sources in this file. Live DB still holds the shorter bulk-import summary — apply this to it.]
**Victims:** Waleed, a trader in the Kahna area near Lahore, Pakistan, targeted for his alleged involvement in Bitcoin trading (police referred to him only as a "businessman").
**Attackers:** A Crime Control Department (CCD) inspector, Javed Iqbal (posted at CCD Kotwali), Constable Tauseef, and two unidentified accomplices — a case officials called a major embarrassment for the provincial police.
**Attack Method:** The suspects, in plain clothes, raided his home and seized his laptop, three mobile phones and the CCTV DVR (apparently to destroy evidence) before abducting him, using a rented vehicle.
**Violence Used:** Detention — he was held captive and, on the second forced call to his family, threatened with death if the ransom was not paid.
**Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** The kidnappers first demanded Rs50 million, then reduced it to Rs4 million after negotiation; the family paid, handing the ransom over near the Lahore Orange Line Station.
**Status:** Waleed was released soon after. His family complained to Kahna Police, who arrested Inspector Javed Iqbal and Constable Tauseef and handed them to CCD Model Town for interrogation; officials framed it as a sting to root out corrupt officers.

CCD cop held for 'orchestrating' businessman's kidnapping
LAHORE:
A senior officer of the Crime Control Department (CCD) has been arrested for allegedly masterminding the kidnapping of a local businessman for ransom, in what officials described as a major embarrassment for the provincial police.
According to police sources, Inspector Javed Iqbal, posted at CCD Kotwali, along with Constable Tauseef and two unidentified accomplices, abducted a trader named Waleed from the Kahna area.
The suspects, dressed in plain clothes, reportedly raided the victim's home, seizing his laptop, three mobile phones, and the CCTV DVR in an apparent bid to destroy evidence.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the abduction was financially motivated. Investigators believe the suspects targeted the victim due to his alleged involvement in Bitcoin trading, though police officially referred to him only as a "businessman."
During captivity, the victim was forced to contact his family twice.
On the second call, the kidnappers demanded Rs50 million in ransom, threatening to kill him if the amount was not paid. After negotiations, the demand was reduced to Rs4 million.
The victim's family was instructed to change drop-off locations multiple times before finally handing over the ransom near the Lahore Orange Line Station (LOS). Waleed was released soon after.
Following his safe return, the family lodged a complaint with Kahna Police, which swiftly initiated an investigation.
The probe revealed that CCD officials were behind the abduction and had used a rented vehicle for the operation.
Acting on the findings, Kahna Police arrested Inspector Javed Iqbal and Constable Tauseef. The duo was later handed over to CCD Model Town for further interrogation.
Police officials described the arrests as part of a "planned sting operation" aimed at cleansing the department of corrupt elements.
