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:** The owner of an aluminium factory in the West Meru industrial area near Klang, Malaysia; the on-duty security personnel were also targeted.
**Attackers:** A group of robbers; twelve men (including one Indonesian) were arrested in nine raids, and three more remained at large (Tan Jian Farn alias 'Q-Peng', 37; Herman Petrus, 41; and Abdul Rahim Mohamad Ali, 33). All the local suspects had prior criminal and drug records, while the arrested Indonesian had none.
**Attack Method:** The factory was broken into and robbed early in the morning across two incidents, on 27 April and 20 May 2022; the robbers tied up the security guards.
**Violence Used:** Detention — the on-duty security personnel were tied up to carry out the theft; no injuries were reported.
**Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** The robbers stole 180 bitcoin mining machines (ASICs) — not bitcoin itself — a loss put at hundreds of thousands of ringgit.
**Status:** Twelve men were arrested on 2627 May and remanded for five days; cars, computers, phones and mining machines were seized, and police said the arrests solved three bitcoin-machine robbery cases in the area. Three suspects were still being sought; the case was opened under Section 395/397 of the Penal Code.

KLANG Twelve men, including an Indonesian, were arrested in nine raids around here on May 26 and 27, in connection with a bitcoin mining machine theft case involving a loss of hundreds of thousands of ringgit.
North Klang district police chief, ACP S. Vijaya Rao, said the suspects, aged 20 to 40, were detained by police, following a report lodged by the owner of an aluminium factory in the West Meru industrial area, near here, after his factory was broken into and 180 bitcoin machines were stolen in two incidents, on April 27 and May 20.
He said that based on the modus operandi used, the suspects robbed the factory early in the morning and tied up the security personnel on duty.
“Following that, an investigation paper under Section 395/397 of the Penal Code was opened. All the suspects were remanded for five days to assist in the investigation,” he said at a press conference at the North Klang district police headquarters, here, today.
Vijaya said all local suspects arrested had multiple criminal and drug-related records, while the Indonesian had no criminal record.
“During the raids, among items seized were cars, computers, mobile phones and bitcoin mining machines. As a result of the arrests, the police have managed to solve three bitcoin machine robbery cases in the North Klang area,” he said.
He said the police were currently tracking down three other suspects who were still at large, known as Tan Jian Farn (Q-Peng), 37, Herman Petrus, 41, and Abdul Rahim Mohamad Ali, 33, believed to be involved in the incident. Bernama, May 30, 2022
