Presentation QA v2 reference-09: 14 residue stubs reviewed, none changed

Maintenance ID: 0.1.00250.presentation-qa-v2-reference-09 Date: 2026-10-09 Scope: content/reference/ — issue #979 assignment (14 records, fref-0903-rdad.md through fref-0916-qmba.md, snapshot 1ce4635c)

What changed

Nothing in the assigned records. All fourteen are 11-line historical-residue stubs sharing one boilerplate body: retired poetry-restoration work orders whose staged agent assignments, monitored target coordinates, and generation directives were removed. Each was read in full, frontmatter through final line, against the pass-2 transform list in docs/presentation-qa-baseline.md and the issue's reference rulings. No transform was earned by any record.

What was deliberately left alone

• All frontmatter, canonical IDs, titles, tags, and status: archived markers — pass 2 does not alter status.
• The SCREAMING_SNAKE designations in each H1 (ARCHIVE_DOCKET, CATALOG_RELIC, DOSSIER_SILT, REPOSITORY_GLYPH, REGISTRY_FOG, ANNEX_CINDER, PROTOCOL_MOTH, CUSTODY_SHAFT, FOLIO_DRIFT, RECORD_VEIL, STACK_HUSH, MEMORY_TAXON, SHELF_ECHO, BUREAU_ASH): these are work-order names, not literal field identifiers, and the frozen title: frontmatter carries them unspanned — code-spanning the heading copy would split the designation's representation.
• The line-11 triad "staged agent assignments, monitored target coordinates, and generation directives" in every record: a rhetorical triad describing removed cargo, not a discrete enumeration — no list split.
• Emphasis: the boilerplate residue carries no earned pivot; decorative emphasis stays out.
• No record-ID tokens, M-NNNN mascots, APH-* aphorisms, lead-in labels, quoted filings, annexes, or matrices exist in any of the fourteen bodies — the wiki-link, run-in, blockquote, <Details>/<Aside>, and table transforms had nothing to attach to.

Verification performed

• git diff 1ce4635c5dedba717dc42b40045228044940771c..HEAD -- content/reference/ — clean; HEAD is the snapshot commit itself, no intervening diffs on assigned paths.
• python3 scripts/check_collection_counts.py — run after adding this docket; content/changelog.md Count: and README totals set to actuals.
• BORIS_BIN=$HOME/.local/bin/boris ./bin/validate_graph.sh — see PR body for exact outcome.
• Compiled-article inspection of representative records — see PR body; all fourteen stubs are structurally identical, so the check covered the variant H1 families (Restoration Directive, Allocation Protocol, Compliance Ledger, Qualitative Matrix).

Unresolved follow-up

• None. No dangling reference tokens, truncations, or non-formatting defects found in the slice; nothing was routed to issue #970.
