Presentation QA Mascots 004: Read-First Review of 5 Records

Maintenance ID: 0.1.00174.mascots-004 Date: 2026-10-08 Scope: content/mascots/ — the 5 records assigned by workload issue #731 (010.forbiddy-noentry.md, 011.formee-formeson.md, 012.gregwar-cache-wizard.md, 014.htmlie-structura.md, 015.indexer-hexley.md)

What changed

  • Read all five assigned records in full, frontmatter through final related-residue line.
  • 010.forbiddy-noentry.md line 21: bolded "The logs are 403." — the biography's deadpan landing (denial rationales denied, denials logged, logs themselves denied). Asterisks only.
  • 011.formee-formeson.md line 20: bolded "They experience it as a workflow." — the record's paradox-to-procedure pivot. Asterisks only.
  • 012.gregwar-cache-wizard.md line 21: bolded "It is accurate." — the cold landing of the tested legend. Asterisks only.
  • 015.indexer-hexley.md line 20: bolded "The index is complete—except the parts that matter." — the biography's thesis sentence. Asterisks only.
  • 014.htmlie-structura.md: reviewed unchanged. Older headed-section template (## Role, ## Function, ## 🪪 Credentials, etc.) keeps the definitional lines in their own sections; the slogan already stands isolated and quoted. No prose pivot earns emphasis over that structure.

What was deliberately left alone

  • All frontmatter, canonical IDs, tags, titles, anchors ({#...}), quoted/documentary material, lists, headings, and every existing emphasis marker including the <u> and inline bold/italic already present in verse.
  • Stat-block lines (**Role:** etc.) and biography prose lines compiled run-on in all five records — the dominant source convention across the mascot collection; a collection-level convention question, not a per-record fix.
  • 011.formee-formeson.md lines 216–244: four consecutive "Supersession Reflection Loop" limerick stanzas lack two-space hard breaks and compile run-on (verified in dist/cantilever/mascots/M-0011.html — <p> blocks with soft breaks, no <br />), while every sibling stanza uses them. Protected verse — flagged needs decision, not edited.
  • 014.htmlie-structura.md lines 60–62: the "🧾 Haiku Records" haiku lacks hard breaks and compiles run-on (verified in dist/cantilever/mascots/M-0014.html), unlike the ## Haikus section below it. Protected verse — flagged needs decision, not edited.
  • 014.htmlie-structura.md lines 106/126, 110/130, 114/134: three aphorisms each appear twice verbatim in the same residue block. Possible generation-paste residue; intentional duplicates are preserved by policy — flagged needs decision for maintainer ruling.
  • 015.indexer-hexley.md lines 149–156: the "He whispered a search term at night" stanza is an eight-line block with the couplet "To nobody's query delight. / The index returned / What no soul had yearned," repeated — on-theme stutter or paste residue, inside protected verse either way. Flagged needs decision, not edited.
  • scripts/fix_verse_hard_breaks.py scopes only limericks/, haikus/, and ## Related Haikus/Limericks regions, so none of the above is caught by bin/validate_graph.sh. Whether mascot ## Haiku Log/## Limerick Log/headed-verse residue should join that contract is a maintainer decision (see also #824).

Verification performed

  • python3 read-only scans of all five files enumerating every non-blank line missing two-space hard breaks; each run-on block classified (prose convention vs. protected verse) before any edit.
  • BORIS_BIN=/Users/tbuddy/dev/filed.fyi/bin/boris ./bin/validate_graph.sh — passed before and after the edits (fix_verse_hard_breaks: 0 violation(s); Boris diagnostics clean; Cantilever build and certification passed).
  • Compiled-article inspection of dist/cantilever/mascots/M-0010.html, M-0011.html, M-0012.html, M-0014.html, M-0015.html: confirmed run-on rendering of the flagged verse regions pre-edit, and correct <strong> placement with untouched <br /> verse structure post-edit.
  • python3 scripts/check_collection_counts.py — PASS after count reconciliation.

Unresolved follow-up

  • The needs decision items above await maintainer waiver or a scoped extension of the verse hard-break convention to mascot ## Haiku Log / ## Limerick Log / headed-verse regions (#824).
  • The 014 duplicate-aphorism trio and the 015 repeated couplet await a maintainer ruling on whether they are generation residue or intentional duplication.
