Presentation QA Mascots 013: Read-First Review of 5 Records

Maintenance ID: 0.1.00183.mascots-013 Date: 2026-10-08 Scope: content/mascots/ — the 5 records assigned by workload issue #740 (058.yamteams.md, 059.stackdodge.md, 060.courier-rat.md, 061.parvovirus-p.md, 063.parsey-driftchart.md)

What changed

Read all five assigned records in full, frontmatter through final related-residue line.
058.yamteams.md line 13: bolded "suffocating actual work" — the definitional pivot of the parasite biography (it simulates productivity while suffocating work). Asterisks only.
059.stackdodge.md line 32: bolded "a performance success" — the aphorism's turn, where a total system wipe is reclassified by spreadsheet fiat. Asterisks only.
060.courier-rat.md line 38: bolded "it filed the sender into a different department" — the recursion reversal the record is built around. Asterisks only.
061.parvovirus-p.md line 39: bolded "The optics are perfect." — the deadpan landing of the Wellness Parade aphorism. Asterisks only.
063.parsey-driftchart.md line 15: bolded "The module remembers." — the record's refrain, repeated in the aphorism (line 22) and the limerick (line 115). Asterisks only.

What was deliberately left alone

All frontmatter, canonical IDs, tags, titles, anchors ({#...}), quoted/documentary material, headings, lists, and every pre-existing emphasis marker including / stat-block markup.
058.yamteams.md lines 535–845 (### YamTeams™ {#yamteamstm-2} stat-block region): verse stanzas interleaved with status lines in five different markups (, , **, *, _), --- separators that stop partway and include one doubled pair (597–599), whitespace-only lines (582, 644–645), and mid-stanza indented lines — nonstandard verse layout; flagged needs decision on the PR rather than normalized. Lines 241–317 and 417–437 carry the same indented-stanza convention at two different depths (two and three leading spaces).
060.courier-rat.md line 134: Undelivered,*" carries an unmatched asterisk; it compiles to a literal * inside the limerick quote (verified in dist/cantilever/mascots/M-0060.html). Protected verse region — flagged needs decision, left untouched.
Compressed single-line verse inside ## Aphorisms entries (059 line 24, 060 line 30, 061 line 31, 063 line 26): the collection's stat-block convention — the same pattern appears in unassigned neighbors (057, 064). Not a defect.
061's anchor sequence -3/-4/-5 (siblings use -2/-3/-4), 063's heading-less biography and they→she pronoun shift, 058's unanchored first ### YamTeams™ heading and mixed curly/straight quotes: archival residue, preserved.

Verification performed

git diff on all five records: emphasis markers only — no word, order, ID, link, frontmatter, or whitespace changes.
BORIS_BIN=/Users/tbuddy/dev/filed.fyi/bin/boris ./bin/validate_graph.sh — passed (Boris graph diagnostics, full Cantilever compile, verse residue check, HTML ID audit, Filed certification).
Compiled-article inspection before and after: each of the five pages emits exactly one added ; all   hard breaks intact (058: 320, 059: 46, 060: 58, 061: 58, 063: 54); M-0060's stray * still renders literally, documented as needs decision rather than edited.
git fetch origin && git merge origin/main — already up to date; counts then recounted to actual.
python3 scripts/check_collection_counts.py — PASS (changelog Count: 114; README totals: 2,319 pages, 11 trunks, 2,308 satellites).

Unresolved follow-up

060 line 134 stray asterisk and the 058 stat-block region await maintainer resolution or waiver; both flagged needs decision on the PR.
