Presentation QA Reference 003: Empathegy Annex and Assurance Records

Maintenance ID: 0.1.00213.reference-003 Date: 2026-10-08 Scope: content/reference/empathegy/fref-0540-anxt.md, content/reference/empathegy/fref-0550-apan.md, content/reference/empathegy/fref-0560-asar.md

What changed

• fref-0540-anxt.md line 155: bolded the pivot phrase, It is **demoted necessity**. — the distinguishing rule that separates Annex Truth from decorative commentary.
• fref-0550-apan.md line 155: bolded **unfinished honesty** in the Archive Position sentence, the claim that covers both record halves.
• fref-0560-asar.md line 16: bolded **incomplete in the direction of comfort**, the definitional skew the rest of the record unpacks.
• One bold pivot per record, matching the emphasis convention already present in neighboring content/reference/empathegy/ records. No words, order, links, frontmatter, or protected residue changed.
• Recounted content/changelog/ source records, including this docket, and set the trunk's Count: to 121. Recounted README totals to actual: 2,326 pages, 11 trunks, 2,315 satellites.

What was deliberately left alone

• Related Aphorisms, Related Haikus, and Related Limericks blocks in all three records, including their generated pairings, {#...-N} anchors, and two-space verse hard breaks.
• Documentary residue left as found: the trailing comma closing the bullet list at fref-0540-anxt.md line 168; the possessive variants between body and aphorism layers; limerick wording anomalies.

Verification performed

• BORIS_BIN=/Users/tbuddy/dev/filed.fyi/bin/boris ./bin/validate_graph.sh: see PR body for exact outcome.
• python3 scripts/check_collection_counts.py: see PR body for exact outcome.
• Files confirmed unchanged from assignment snapshot 8997eebe before editing.

Unresolved follow-up

• Flagged for maintainer decision, not fixed (word-level changes are outside presentation scope):
  • fref-0540-anxt.md line 223: "the truths subordinate placement" — likely missing possessive ("truth's").
  • fref-0560-asar.md line 32: "the systems ability" — Related Aphorisms line 295 preserves "the system's ability", suggesting the body dropped the apostrophe.
  • fref-0550-apan.md line 308 (Related Limericks, protected): "We received the complain," — likely "complaint"; flagged without normalization per the protected-region rule.
