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:** An unidentified woman, a cryptocurrency investor in Dubai, UAE.
**Attackers:** A four-man gang of Asian expats, one of whom worked as her driver and knew she was a crypto investor and drew in the other three; all four were convicted.
**Attack Method:** The driver lured her into a bogus deal, posing as wanting to buy digital currency, and had her come to a spot in Dubai Investments Park, where a group approached her and demanded she transfer her money to their account.
**Violence Used:** Detention — she was assaulted, electrocuted, stripped naked and photographed for blackmail, then left on a street for several hours with her hands tied and a plastic bag over her face.
**Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** They robbed her of Dh42,000 and converted the cash into bitcoin.
**Status:** She ran to police; CID tracked the gang via CCTV and recovered her clothes, an electric-shock device and the nude clips from their homes. The four were sentenced to three years, fined Dh42,000 and ordered deported after their sentences.

Dubai: 4 expats jailed for robbing woman of Dh42,000, using cash to buy bitcoin
They were also found to have electrocuted the victim and taken indecent photos of her
Four Asians were sentenced to three years in jail for robbing a woman of Dh42,000 in Dubai. They assaulted her, stripped her naked, and converted her money into bitcoin, court records show.
The victim told the police that she was kidnapped, assaulted, and robbed after getting into a deal with one of the gang members who said he wanted to buy digital currency, court records show.
It turned out that a member of the group was working as a driver for the woman and he knew that she was a cryptocurrency investor. He and the rest of the gang decided to plot the crime and lure her into a bogus deal so they could steal her money, according to the documents at the Dubai Court of First Instance.
The victim said she agreed to meet the group, but when she arrived at the specified location within Dubai Investments Park, she was shocked to see a group of people coming toward her. She told the court that they demanded that she transfer her money to their account.
"I was assaulted, electrocuted, stripped off my clothes, and photographed, so the pictures could be used to blackmail me," she told the authorities.
After several hours, they left her on a street — her hands tied and a plastic bag placed on her face. She was eventually able to run and go to the police, according to court records.
The police said the CID team was able to track down the members of the gang after reviewing the CCTV footage at the crime scene. Upon their arrest, the authorities found the victim's clothes and an electric shock device in their homes. They also got hold of the video clips where the woman appeared naked, according to court records.
Besides the jail sentence, the court of first instance fined them Dh42,000 and ordered their deportation after serving their time.

Four expats in UAE have been sentenced to three years for assaulting a woman, stripping her down, robbing her of Dh42,000 (BD4,300) and converting the amount into bitcoin.
When the victim recounted her ordeal to the police, she revealed that the incident took place after she had agreed to get into a deal with one of the gang members who said he wanted to buy digital currency.
The man she had made the agreement with was working as her driver and knew of her involvement in cryptocurrency as an investor and formulated a plan with the rest of the gang to lure her into a bogus deal and steal her money, documents at the Dubai Court of First Instance revealed.
She had agreed to meet with the man, and was surprised when she arrived at the specified location in Dubai Investments Park, to see a group of people coming towards her.
The victim told the court that the men had demanded that she transfer her money to their account.
"I was assaulted, electrocuted, stripped off my clothes, and photographed, so the pictures could be used to blackmail me," she told the authorities.
The men, all of Asian nationality, then left her on the street after several hours, with her hands tied and a plastic bag around her face.
