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.)

Armed Men Kidnap Karachi Passenger, Steal $8,600 From Digital Account - The Asian Mirror
A Karachi resident was abducted near Jinnah International Airport and allegedly forced at gunpoint to transfer $8,600 from his digital account, in a disturbing case that has raised renewed concerns over rising crimes involving digital payments and online financial platforms.
According to the victim’s family, the man had left his home on Wednesday night to travel to Lahore when the incident took place during his ride in an online-hailing vehicle.
The victim’s father said the driver stopped at a petrol pump along the route, where four armed men arrived in a double-cabin vehicle and intercepted the ride. The suspects then forcibly took the passenger into their own vehicle at gunpoint.
He was reportedly kept moving for over an hour while the attackers accessed his digital financial account and transferred approximately $8,600.

Mobile, laptop and belongings also stolen
In addition to the digital theft, the suspects also confiscated the victim’s mobile phone, laptop, and personal belongings. The family further stated that the victim was physically assaulted during the ordeal.
After several hours, the abductors abandoned him in the Korangi area before fleeing the scene.
The victim’s father has claimed that despite the seriousness of the incident, a formal complaint has not yet been registered at the airport police station, raising questions over the response of law enforcement authorities.
Rising concerns over digital financial crimes
The incident adds to growing concerns about the misuse of digital wallets, online banking, and mobile financial platforms in violent street crimes. Security experts have warned that criminals are increasingly targeting individuals with access to traceable digital funds due to their immediate transfer capability.
Authorities have not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident or confirmed whether an investigation has been launched.
