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:** A French man in his fifties, the father of a cryptocurrency entrepreneur whose company is based in Malta and France, in Paris.
**Attackers:** An organised gang; four suspects were arrested and taken into custody.
**Attack Method:** He was abducted around 10:30 a.m. on the Thursday in the 14th arrondissement of Paris and held for two days; the apartment where he was kept was reportedly being sealed off, probably to film staged hostage videos.
**Violence Used:** Detention — abducted and held for two days; one of his fingers was severed.
**Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** The kidnappers demanded a transfer of between €5 million and €7 million for his release.
**Status:** He was freed on the Saturday night in Palaiseau (Essonne) during a police operation coordinated by the BIS with the BRB and the criminal brigade; four suspects were in custody and an organised-gang kidnapping and extortion investigation was opened.

The father of an entrepreneur in cryptocurrencies kidnapped in Paris and found kidnapped, his finger severed

The man was kidnapped Thursday morning. Since then, he was kidnapped by kidnappers who demanded a ransom in exchange for his release. According to sources consistent with the Parisian, confirming an information of Actu17, a fifties-year-old was released Saturday night in Palaiseau (Essonne) by the police and found with a severed finger. Four suspects were arrested and taken into custody.
The victim, the father of a French entrepreneur in the field of cryptocurrencies, head of a company based in Malta and France, was kidnapped Thursday around 10h30 in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, said the prosecutor. The criminals would have claimed between 5 to 7 million euros in the form of a transfer in exchange for his release. After telephone investigations, he was finally released during an operation coordinated by the BIS of the Paris judicial police with the BRB (Brigade de répression du banditisme) and the criminal brigade.
Video Kidnapping, torture, ransoms... crypto, new target of organized crime
According to our information, the accommodation where the victim was was being caulked, probably in order to make videos of the hostage’s staging. An investigation of the counts of arrest, kidnapping and arbitrary detention of hostages to obtain the execution of an order or a condition committed in an organized gang, extortion in organized gangs with weapon and participation in an association of criminal criminals was entrusted to the brigade for the repression of banditry and the judicial police.

ORIGINAL (unknown, verbatim as retrieved)
Le père d’un entrepreneur dans les cryptomonnaies enlevé à Paris et retrouvé séquestré, le doigt sectionné - Le Parisien
L’homme avait été enlevé jeudi matin. Depuis, il était séquestré par des ravisseurs qui demandaient une rançon en échange de sa libération. Selon des sources concordantes au Parisien, confirmant une information d’Actu17, un quinquagénaire a été libéré samedi soir à Palaiseau (Essonne) par les forces de l’ordre et retrouvé avec un doigt sectionné. Quatre suspects ont été arrêtés et placés en garde à vue.
La victime, père d’un entrepreneur français dans le domaine des cryptomonnaies, dirigeant d’une société basée à Malte et en France, a été kidnappé jeudi vers 10h30 dans le XIVe arrondissement de Paris, a précisé le parquet. Les malfaiteurs auraient réclamé entre 5 à 7 millions d’euros sous forme de virement en échange de sa libération. Au terme d’investigations téléphoniques, il a finalement été libéré lors d’une opération coordonnée par la BRI de la police judiciaire parisienne avec la BRB (Brigade de répression du banditisme) et la brigade criminelle.
VidéoSéquestrations, torture, rançons… la crypto, nouvelle cible du crime organisé
Selon nos informations, le logement où la victime se trouvait était calfeutré, probablement en vue de réaliser des vidéos de mise en scène de l’otage. Une enquête des chefs d’arrestation, enlèvement, séquestration et détention arbitraire d’otage pour obtenir l’exécution d’un ordre ou d’une condition commis en bande organisée, d’extorsion en bande organisée avec arme et de participation à une association de malfaiteurs criminelle a été confiée à la brigade de répression du banditisme et la police judiciaire.
En janvier, David Balland, associé et cofondateur de Ledger, une prospère entreprise spécialisée dans la cryptomonnaie, ainsi que sa compagne, avaient été enlevés chez eux, dans une vaste bâtisse en pierre située près de Vierzon (Cher).
