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).

notes Evening of violence for a family of Verneuil-sur-Seine (Yvelines). The judicial police are investigating the spectacular robbery suffered by a couple and their two children on the evening of Friday to Saturday 10 January. Around 8 p.m., a man warns the police. He explains that he was attacked, at home and with his relatives, by three individuals. Carrying a handgun, the criminals burst into the family pavilion before attacking the occupants of the premises. The father and his wife were beaten several times. Then the attackers tied up the parents and their two children — whose age is not known — with clamps.
Targeted by the great banditry. In circumstances that remain to be specified, the family was able to free themselves from ties and found refuge with neighbors. They then called the police. The thugs were seen fleeing towards the station.
The victim does not appear to have been chosen by chance. The father is indeed the leader of a group specialized in investments related to cryptocurrencies. For several months, these profiles have been particularly targeted by criminal teams.

(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.)

Yvelines : Un investisseur en cryptomonnaies et sa famille ligotés et frappés à leur domicile
Une famille de Verneuil-sur-Seine (Yvelines) a été violemment prise pour cible par trois agresseurs armés venus faire irruption à leur domicile ce vendredi soir. Les enquêteurs de la police judiciaire explorent la piste d'un ciblage lié à l'activité du père, dirigeant d'un groupe spécialisé dans les investissements en cryptomonnaies.
Un couple et ses deux enfants ont été agressés et ligotés à leur
domicile de Verneuil-sur-Seine (Yvelines) ce vendredi soir. La
police judiciaire a été saisie et les enquêteurs cherchent à
déterminer les motivations exactes des trois auteurs, alors que le
père de famille travaille dans le secteur des investissements en
cryptomonnaies, un domaine de plus en plus visé par des équipes
criminelles.
Un homme a alerté la police vers 20 heures pour signaler que
trois individus munis d'une arme de poing venaient de faire
irruption dans le pavillon familial. Les faits se sont produits
alors que le couple et ses deux enfants se trouvaient à leur
domicile. Les agresseurs s'en sont pris au père et à la mère en les
frappant à plusieurs reprises, selon une source proche de
l'affaire, confirmant une information du Parisien.
Les trois malfaiteurs ont ensuite ligoté le couple et les deux
enfants à l'aide de colliers de serrage. Dans des circonstances qui
restent à préciser, la famille est parvenue à se dégager des liens
et a trouvé refuge chez des voisins, qui ont pu donner
l'alerte.
Selon les premiers éléments, le père de famille pourrait avoir
été ciblé en raison de son activité professionnelle. Il est en
effet le dirigeant d'un groupe spécialisé dans les investissements
liés aux cryptomonnaies. Il s'agit d'un profil régulièrement visé
par des réseaux de malfaiteurs ces derniers mois, qui n'hésitent
pas à enlever et séquestrer leurs victimes, mais également les
torturer comme ce fut le cas de David Balland
en mars 2025.
8 millions d'euros volés en Charente-Maritime
En décembre dernier en Charente-Maritime, trois agresseurs
ont forcé un entrepreneur en
cryptomonnaies à transférer près de 8 millions d'euros en
cryptodevise après l'avoir ligoté, lui et sa compagne, et les avoir
frappés pendant près de deux heures pour obtenir le virement.

Verneuil-sur-Seine : un investisseur en cryptomonnaies séquestré à son domicile avec sa famille Mantes Actu
Une famille de VerneuilsurSeine a vécu une nuit de terreur dans la soirée du 10 janvier, lorsquun investisseur en cryptomonnaies, son épouse et leurs deux enfants ont été violemment agressés à leur domicile.
Selon Le Parisien, trois individus armés dun pistolet ont fait irruption dans le pavillon familial avant de frapper les parents et de ligoter toute la famille à laide de colliers de serrage.
Malgré la violence des faits, les victimes sont parvenues à se libérer et à se réfugier chez des voisins, qui ont alerté les forces de lordre. Les agresseurs ont été vus prenant la fuite en direction de la gare, et sont activement recherchés par la police judiciaire.
Daprès les informations rapportées par Le Parisien, le père de famille naurait pas été ciblé au hasard : il dirige un groupe spécialisé dans les investissements en cryptomonnaies, un secteur devenu une cible privilégiée du grand banditisme depuis plusieurs mois.
Les enquêteurs explorent donc la piste dun cambriolage prémédité, lié à son activité professionnelle.
La famille, choquée mais saine et sauve, a été prise en charge tandis que lenquête se poursuit pour identifier les trois auteurs de cette attaque dune rare violence.
