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).

Fake S.F. delivery person steals $11 million in cryptocurrency
A thief posing as a delivery person in San Franciscos Mission Dolores neighborhood made off with a victims phone, laptop and $11 million in cryptocurrency, according to a police report obtained by the Chronicle.
The robbery began during daylight hours early Saturday evening, at a home on the unit block of Dorland Street, police said.
In a home security video of the incident, posted on social media by Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan, the suspect is seen approaching the front door of the residence in dark colored-clothing, sunglasses, a hoodie and gloves, carrying a white box by his side. The suspect turns turns his head away from the security camera as he nears the entrance, and his face is never fully visible throughout the video.
The suspect buzzes in and asks for “Joshua,” claiming that he has a package for him, the video shows. He continues the courier ruse after a person who identified himself as Joshua opens the door. The suspect asks the victim if he could “sign for this,” briefly looks through his own pocket, and then asks the victim if he has a pen.
After the victim says hell look for one, the suspect is seen walking into the home, out of view of the camera, before a loud bang is heard.
Once inside, police say the suspect brandished a gun and proceeded to tie up the victim with duct tape before fleeing with his belongings. Additional details about the crime, including the circumstances surrounding the cryptocurrency theft, were not immediately made available.
Tan, who posted about the incident on X Monday morning, described the victim as a friend and member of the community. He asked that anyone else with in the area with video footage between 4:30 and 6 p.m. to contact San Francisco police. The home is near Mission Dolores Park, between Dolores and Guerrero streets.
“We have to find the perpetrator,” Tan said in his post. “Time is of the essence.”
Tan referenced the crypto theft in a reply to his first X post, saying “Self custody of crypto seems like a good idea until it isnt. Vault storage (at Coinbase or elsewhere) for long term holding is safest.”
Police said officers responded to the home at about 6:45 p.m. and found the victim suffering from non-life-threatening injuries. They confirmed that no arrests had been made as of Monday morning.
Attempts to reach the person listed in public records as the homeowner were unsuccessful.

San Francisco Crypto Crime: $11M Stolen in Bitcoin Heist
Editors Note: The video attached to this article has been updated to remove an image of a house.
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A crypto crime was committed in San Francisco on Saturday.
Police say it happened around 6:45 pm. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, $11 million in cryptocurrency was taken. The newspaper reported that the victim had $11 million in cryptocurrency stolen by a man posing as a delivery person.
According to the Chronicle, the suspect brandished a gun and tied up the victim with duct tape. The suspect reportedly then escaped with the victims belongings.
San Francisco police say that officers responded to a residence on Dorland Street in the citys Mission District around 6:45 p.m. Saturday — a victim inside his home who said he had been physically restrained and suffered what police referred to as “financial loss.”
Paramedics were dispatched to the residence where the victim suffered “non-life-threatening injuries.” As of Monday evening, no arrests have been made in the crime on Dorland Street.
KRON4 spoke with a tech expert about how the currency can be protected.
San Jose State professor Ahmed Banafa wrote a book on how to protect your cryptocurrency and says crimes like the one that occurred in San Francisco over the weekend are happening more often than you think.
Banafa wrote a book on the technology of crypto and has heard of others being targeted for the currency. Some victims even filed reports of kidnapping and torture.
Banafa says the case from Saturday proves the importance of dividing your crypto up when dealing with large sums.
“Its clear who they are going after, and its not a surprise,” said Banafa.
“If you have 11 million dollars, which is the number were talking about here, Im not going to keep it on one device. I can divide it into multiple devices, in multiple wallets. Its like having your money in multiple accounts in the bank,” Banafa added.
The tech expert also recommends using multi-signature, where cryptocurrency cannot be transferred unless multiple people agree to it. If youre dealing with millions, security measures around your property are also important.
“Physical security is living somewhere you have cameras, dont open the door to people unless you make sure that you know them. All the kinds of things to protect yourself,” Banafa said.
If you have any information about what happened, youre asked to contact SFPD to help with their investigation.
