Editorial Emphasis Pass 10: Aphorism Records 226–250

Maintenance ID: 0.1.00040.emphasis-pass-10 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-428 through APH-FREF-0030, 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 ("damage with paperwork", "prayer with worse telemetry", "load-bearing mistake", "load-bearing misunderstanding", "procedural warmth", "impossible dreams", "prophecy buffering", "institutional mercy", "porch light on"). No bold in this run; the block is prose-forward with no thesis-sentence candidates.
  • This block contains the historical irregularities — the lowercase aph-FFP-* mirror records, APH-ffp-0385, APH-FREF-* reference mirrors, and the id-overridden APH-coma-observation-transcript (APH-0089). All were preserved exactly as found and judged under the same rules.
  • Motif echo marked: APH-435's "impossible dreams" (echoing APH-400) — cross-record echo, marked once per record.

Watermark for the next run

  • Records 226–250 of 2,246 markdown files under content/ (sorted path order) are complete. Record 250 is content/aphorisms/APH-FREF-0030-AVSG.md.
  • The next run resumes at record 251: content/aphorisms/APH-FREF-0040-AVDN.md.
  • Run cap is 25 records per run. Numbering gaps (436–450, 452–501, 505–671, 673–676, 678–936) are preserved as found.

What was deliberately left alone

  • Frontmatter, links, tables, code, backtick spans, and all pre-existing formatting were not modified, including the "## Contextual Records" heading in APH-435 and the quoted fortune lines in APH-937.
  • Taxonomy acronym definitions in APH-FREF-0020 (CAAR, LCGU, STCP, AAOA) were left unmarked; the touches went to the sentences interpreting them.
  • No trunk counts changed other than this docket's own addition to content/changelog/ (50 → 51); no records were added, removed, or renamed; no relations were touched.

Verification performed

  • ./bin/validate_graph.sh: Boris graph diagnostics passed; full Cantilever compile wrote dist/cantilever; verse residue check passed; HTML ID audit found 0 pages with duplicate IDs; Filed certification passed, proof complete and byte-for-byte consistent.

Unresolved follow-up

  • 1,996 records remain in the emphasis queue.
