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).

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.)

ORIGINAL (unknown, verbatim as retrieved)
Isère. Cryptomonnaie : un homme âgé de 74 ans enlevé, les malfaiteurs réclamaient l'équivalent de 3 millions deuros
Un homme âgé de 74 ans a été enlevé dimanche au petit matin par des malfrats, à Voiron, en Isère, a appris Le Dauphiné Libéré de plusieurs sources concordantes. Les organisateurs de ce rapt en avaient après le supposé portefeuille en cryptomonnaie du fils du septuagénaire. Un fils, expatrié à l'étranger et qui a reçu des menaces après lenlèvement de son père. Une rançon de 3 millions deuros en cryptomonnaies a également été demandée.
Les faits se sont déroulés après 6h, dans un quartier résidentiel de Voiron. La victime a été enlevée à son domicile. Daprès des voisins rencontrés par le Dauphiné Libéré, il sagit d'« un mec bien, très sympathique ».
Avisés très tôt dimanche matin, les policiers ont déployé dimportants moyens pour tenter de retrouver le septuagénaire. Des enquêteurs ont également passé une partie de la journée au domicile de lhomme afin de procéder aux constatations et de rechercher d’éventuels indices pouvant aider lenquête. La division de la criminalité organisée et spécialisée (DCOS) de Grenoble est en charge des investigations avec la DCOS du Rhône (69), sous lautorité de la juridiction interrégionale spécialisée (JIRS) de Lyon, compétente en matière de criminalité organisée, financière et cyber et quand les affaires présentent « une grande complexité ». Cest donc le procureur de la République de Lyon qui dirige cette enquête particulièrement sensible.
Finalement, les policiers ont rapidement remonté la piste des ravisseurs puisque le septuagénaire a été libéré dans la nuit de dimanche à lundi, un peu avant minuit, par la brigade de recherche et dintervention (BRI) de Lyon, après sans doute de longues heures dangoisse, a appris Le Dauphiné Libéré de source judiciaire. Lintervention a eu lieu près de Loriol, dans la Drôme et toujours selon cette source trois personnes en lien avec cette affaire ont été interpellées. Les suspects sont trois hommes. Ils ont été placés en garde à vue à Lyon. Quant au septuagénaire voironnais, il est actuellement hospitalisé puisqu'il a été blessé grièvement à la main.
