    Presentation QA Aphorisms 017: Read-First Review of 25 Records

    Maintenance ID: 0.1.00083.aphorisms-017 Date: 2026-10-08 Scope: content/aphorisms/ — the 25 records assigned by workload issue #631 (APH-LLG-0391-RCD through APH-LLG-0408-AH1)

    What changed

    • Read all 25 assigned records in full, frontmatter through final line. All matched the issue snapshot (8997eebee2a4e620c5dd47fcea97abf515c4cac6) exactly; no intervening diffs.
    • APH-LLG-0391-RCD.md line 37: bolded "the system prepares the tomb." — the pivot clause of the birth/tomb antithesis; the record's sharpest line in a set built on record-creation-as-decay. Asterisks only.
    • APH-LLG-0400-SCAS.md line 12: bolded "No one can agree when, or if, they ended." — the record's conceit (an experiment whose ending is undecidable); the kicker sentence after the flat setup. Asterisks only.
    • APH-LLG-0400-TRIAD.md line 20: bolded "do not let the rhyme become a lullaby." — the record's self-referential injunction; the turn after the semicolon. Asterisks only.
    • APH-LLG-0401-GLP.md line 16: bolded "The archive has been compliant for eleven years." — the deadpan kicker that lands the compliance/completion distinction. Asterisks only.
    • APH-LLG-0403-WBA.md line 12: bolded "Neither set is authoritative." — the record's stated central contradiction (its own tag is dual-identity-record). Asterisks only.
    • APH-LLG-0404-UPLC.md line 20: bolded "we have validated our ability to ignore it." — the record's thesis clause; the ghost peak is the excuse, validation the ritual. Asterisks only.
    • APH-LLG-0407-SSP.md line 20: bolded "they are evidence of instrumentation drift." — the corrective clause the record's argument turns on. Asterisks only.

    What was deliberately left alone

    • All frontmatter, canonical IDs, titles, tags, and the formulaic residue tags ("Relief remained outside scope", "Meaning adjusted around the winning selector", etc.) — no bold span touches a tag.
    • The two-group source layout: three residue aphorisms (lines 12/16/20), a four-blank-line separator, five technical aphorisms (lines 25–41). The extra blank line is the collection-wide group boundary, not stray whitespace; preserved everywhere.
    • 18 records reviewed unchanged. No line earned elevation over its siblings, or two competing lines made any single accent arbitrary:
      • Terminal-line closers left plain throughout — the last aphorism already occupies the punchline slot; bold would only duplicate what position already does (e.g., APH-LLG-0392-SGL line 41 "Strategy is the art of explaining why the failure was intentional.", APH-LLG-0406-FSD line 41 "Functionality is a temporary defect in a stable flat file.").
      • APH-LLG-0395-MSS line 20 "It had started choosing." competes with the line-41 closer; APH-LLG-0408-AH1 line 16 "FeelingSeeder with plausible deniability." competes with its closer. In each case the record's two-group diptych balances both beats; left uniform.
      • APH-LLG-0405-DEV line 12 "The forms are not fine. The forms are always not fine." — the flat repetition is the joke; emphasis would annotate rather than land it.
      • APH-LLG-0404-DCP line 20 "Purpose — Making an Existing Contradiction Official." reads as a documentary caption; left in boilerplate register.
    • Existing residue voice everywhere: the ... fragment ellipses (APH-LLG-0393-BDA line 12, APH-LLG-0404-UPLC line 12), the capitalized TO in APH-LLG-0401-SCAS-ECHO line 20, Reframr in APH-LLG-0403-CWR line 16, and the C.U.N.T.I.E.R. module names are deliberate residue, not defects.
    • No needs decision items found; no non-formatting defects verified.

    Verification performed

    • BORIS_BIN=/Users/tbuddy/dev/filed.fyi/bin/boris ./bin/validate_graph.sh — passed (Boris check + full Cantilever compile, verse residue check, HTML ID audit, publication certification).
    • python3 scripts/check_collection_counts.py — PASS: collection counts and README totals match Markdown source.
    • git diff confirmed emphasis markers only; no word, order, ID, link, or whitespace changes.
    • Compiled-article inspection of all 7 changed pages plus unchanged APH-LLG-0392-RCS and APH-LLG-0405-SAC: exactly one <strong> per changed page, zero literal ** in output, identical 9-paragraph structure across changed and unchanged records.

    Unresolved follow-up

    • None.
