Editorial Emphasis Pass 03: Aphorism Records 51–75

Maintenance ID: 0.1.00033.emphasis-pass-03 Date: 2026-10-06 Scope: content/aphorisms/, records in sorted path order

What changed

Added editorial emphasis (bold and italics only) to 25 records: APH-057 through APH-082, judged one record at a time. No words were added, removed, reordered, or corrected; the diff is asterisks only.
Italics mark terms of art, wry asides, and each record's own loaded vocabulary ("ancestry of excuses", "managed absence", "index dust", "detached from repair", the birth-time motif "3:12 AM" at both occurrences). Bold is capped at one per record, for the pivot sentence or slogan ("Plug in. Pay up. Pray.", "Three separate stories sharing a single case number.", "Synergy achieved.").
Two records received italics-only treatment with no bold, matching their hushed register: APH-072 (Deprecatia Fade) and APH-078 (SI-9 Interval Witness).
Haiku-shaped stanzas remain unmarked; the LLG cross-references in APH-079 remain untouched plain-text scaffolding.

Records 51–75 of 2,246 markdown files under content/ (sorted path order) are complete. Record 75 is content/aphorisms/APH-082.ma-lcgu-porter.md.
The next run resumes at record 76: content/aphorisms/APH-083.ac-11-sealloop-auditor.md.
Run cap is 25 records per run. Records 076+ belong to the register-naming class (AV-14, CE-5, SI-9, SC-Λ, BX-6, LX-2, MA-LCGU, AC-11...); they were handled with the same rules and no containment-sensitive vocabulary was introduced.

Frontmatter, links, tables, code, backtick spans, and all pre-existing formatting (quoted phrases such as 'before' and 'never', shout-caps, SC-Λ glyph, C:\) were not modified.
APH-057 was carried over from run 02's watermark and received its judged touches first in this run.
The "legally X" gag family (legally unapproachable, legally qualifies, legally supersedes) was marked only where it is a record's central payload (APH-069, APH-054 in run 02), not on every occurrence, to avoid a repeated-marking tic.
No trunk counts changed other than this docket's own addition to content/changelog/ (43 → 44); no records were added, removed, or renamed; no relations were touched.
