Editorial Emphasis Pass, Limericks Run 03: Records 51-75

Maintenance ID: 0.1.00039.emphasis-pass-lim-03 Date: 2026-10-06 Scope: content/limericks/, records 51-75 in sorted path order

What changed

  • Read LIM-LLG-0052 through LIM-LLG-0323-ASD (25 records, all LIM-LLG series) and added emphasis to 21; 4 left plain (LIM-LLG-0072, -0088, -0103, -0114: already fully served by the series convention). No words were added, removed, reordered, or corrected; the diff is asterisks only.
  • These records carry the series' own convention: italics on loaded phrases, roughly one per early stanza, tapering off mid-record. Where the marked region stopped, the remaining stanzas received series-consistent italics; LIM-LLG-0311 (which uses bold) received bold completion in its own style.
  • No new bold introduced in files that had none; no existing emphasis altered.

Watermark for the next run

  • Limerick records 51-75 of 551 (sorted path order) are complete. Record 75 is content/limericks/LIM-LLG-0323-ASD.md.
  • The next run resumes at record 76: content/limericks/LIM-LLG-0323-LC04.md.

What was deliberately left alone

  • Frontmatter, H1 title lines, trailing-double-space hard breaks, pre-existing emphasis (including cross-line italic spans), and all pre-existing formatting preserved byte-for-byte.

Verification performed

  • Byte-level checks for all 21 touched records against the run-02 base: asterisk-strip equality, per-line trailing-whitespace preservation, touched-line balance. All passed.
  • ./bin/validate_graph.sh: Boris graph diagnostics, Markdown link audit, verse residue check, HTML ID audit, Filed certification all passed; exit 0.

Unresolved follow-up

  • 476 limerick records remain in the emphasis queue.
