Presentation QA: Empathegy Reference Records 0820-0840 (#783)

Maintenance ID: 0.1.00052.presentation-qa-empathegy-783 Date: 2026-10-07 Scope: content/reference/empathegy/ — fref-0820-spc.md, fref-0822-elra.md, fref-0830-symc.md, fref-0840-teh.md

What changed

  • Four assigned records read in full, frontmatter through final line, per the #609 read-first baseline.
  • fref-0830-symc.md:13: bolded the defined term (**Symbolic Completion**) in the definitional sentence. The 455-line record had zero emphasis; five sibling empathegy records (0810-SLNT, 0800-SCRL, 0770-RHKD, 0750-PXCM, 0820-SPC) bold the defined term in this exact position.
  • fref-0840-teh.md:50: bolded the pivot line (**It is speaking with its accent.**) closing the Core Premise. The 427-line record had zero emphasis; the annex reuses this image as its lead aphorism (line 283), and the pattern mirrors the existing pivot-bold at fref-0822-elra.md:51.
  • The diff is asterisks only. No words added, removed, reordered, or corrected.

What was deliberately left alone

  • fref-0820-spc.md reviewed unchanged: the definitional sentence already bolds the term (line 13) and all six Interlocks entries carry bold labels (lines 148-153). Existing emphasis is not permission to add more.
  • fref-0822-elra.md reviewed unchanged: already carries its single bold pivot (line 51), bold condition labels, and italic cautions. At the rubric's ceiling already.
  • All poetry annexes (aphorism pairs, haikus, limericks) left exactly as found, including two-space hard breaks and stanza spacing.
  • Frontmatter, IDs, relations, tags, and link targets untouched.

Verification performed

  • ./bin/validate_graph.sh: see PR body for exact output.
  • Compiled HTML inspected for the two changed records and one unchanged record; details in the PR.

Unresolved follow-up

  • content/changelog.md trunk count remains stale upstream (70 claimed vs. 71 actual records on origin/main at rebase time). Recounted from source per the finalization lane and set to 72 including this docket; historical reconciliation remains #611 territory.
