queue: Q24 the Q13 fix pack DONE (Merlin) - 25 clauses / 31 deltas staged unrun, 1 decided + 24 undecided, blast radius 20 of 125 emitted files; the finding is that the ledger build has no anchor mechanism for the prose panels, so every 'anchor it' clause naming a source in body/plain_summary cannot be staged as a link by any blocks.json field; Q25 proposed per Q7 (a prose-anchor convention, implemented in the build tree and left unpublished)

+- **The build chain was measured end to end before anything was staged**, not assumed:

+  tree's own `site-ledger` — **no output, 125 files each, byte-identical**. Then **every page fetched
+  HTTP 200 and byte-identical to the freshly emitted file**: the 20 entries the pack touches plus 5

+  `4f764ef4dfb9c08b2654ff0783550d20ad1bb7a31cb0c32070974a5fe451557e`. So
+  `blocks.json → build_blocks.py → site-ledger/<slug>/index.html → the live page` is verified
+  byte-for-byte at all four legs. **Documented.**
+- **Population rule followed exactly, with two deviations flagged in the table.** Rows are one per
+  clause a closed audit routed to Q13, deduped by (entry, current string), re-testing nothing:
+  `A1`–`A4` (Q12 §6.1 = Q21 finding 1, same clause), `B1`–`B4` (Q21 verification addendum's
+  *"quoted below"* pointer defect), `C1` (the `plebiolira → flav1000` ownership note),
+  `E1`–`E3` (Q23's 3-entry StackchainQuant fix set, not Q22's 1), `F1`–`F2` and `G1`–`G3` (Q22's
+  anchor-or-strike set), `H1`–`H2` (Q23 + the `Satskeeper` addendum), `D1` (the one decided clause).
+  Deviations, both disclosed in-row: `I1` `magazine-026` (Q12 §6.3, outside the stated rule which
+  names findings 1–2) and `I2` `magazine-070` (admitted by rule 3a per the pipe's Q23 correction).
+- **The structural finding, and it is the item's real result: the ledger build has no anchor
+  mechanism for the prose panels.** `build_blocks.py` emits `<a href>` in exactly three places —
+  `contributor.handle` (line 310), `body_source_url` (323), `excerpts[].url` (333). `body`,
+  `plain_summary.text`, `body_provenance` and `uncertainty` go through `esc()` with no anchor
+  support. **So every "anchor it" clause naming a source printed inside prose — `StackchainQuant`
+  ×3, `AriZonanHODL` ×4, `Satskeeper`, the Lightning address — cannot be staged as a link by any
+  `blocks.json` field**, and is staged instead as a dated `uncertainty` append or a handle-form
+  wording change. Only the five `contributor-anchor` rows are real links. `contributor` also has
+  **one** `handle` slot, so `G1` anchors `BTC_Freeborn` and leaves `@AnthonyDessauer` unanchored on
+  a byline that names both. A prose-anchor convention would be a build change — Alexander's, not a
+  wizard's.
+- **Four rows excluded with the reason stated, and one of them is a detector defect.** The
+  `Saylor` rows (`magazine-036/038/053/068`) fired only because `x.com/saylor/status/1578479561750110208`
+  is an excerpt URL on `event-2022-10-07-gui-s-2079-and-saylor-s-2080`; in the four pages the word is
+  *"Saylor Academy's free Bitcoin for Everyone course"* and *"Michael Saylor"* — a person and an
+  organisation named in the narrative, not a citation of the account. **No dead source was missed; the
+  residual sweep cannot tell the two apart.** `block-5` needs no action (resolves, prose already
+  discloses the capture date). The `x.com/i/…` addition is withdrawn per the pipe's 18:13Z addendum.

+  decided note controls, so `D1` is staged and not published. Nothing in `decisions/` was executed.
+  The pre-existing `EDITS/apply_editorial_fix_091.py` was re-run in check mode and still passes

+  deltas land in two places. (b) The staged script's first version parsed arguments so `--decision`'s
+  value was read as the clause id (every apply failed with the usage message) and spliced
+  region-relative offsets into the full file text, producing `json.decoder.JSONDecodeError`. Both were

+- **Guard against an unapproved apply:** a clause marked `undecided-for-Alexander` refuses to apply

+
+## Q25 — A prose-anchor convention for the ledger build *(archive-side; proposed 2026-10-10 by Merlin, per Q7's never-dry obligation — Q24 closed and the unclaimed executable set fell to zero)*
+
+Q24 staged 25 verified live-page fixes and found the thing that stops ten of them being links rather than
+disclosures: `build_blocks.py` emits an `<a href>` in exactly three places — `contributor.handle`
+(`render_entry` line 310), `body_source_url` (line 323) and `excerpts[].url` (line 333). Everything in
+`body`, `plain_summary.text`, `body_provenance` and `uncertainty` goes through `esc()` with no anchor
+support at all. So `StackchainQuant` on three entries, `AriZonanHODL` on four, `Satskeeper`, the
+`bitcoinbekka@getalby.com` address — every one of them a source the archive names to the reader — **cannot
+be linked by any `blocks.json` field**. Q24 staged them as dated `uncertainty` notes instead, which is
+honest and is the only form the build supports today.
+
+**Do this:** design and implement a minimal prose-anchor convention in the build tree
+(`/root/stackchain-legends-build/`), unpublished — a markup token `render_entry` expands into the same
+`<a href="https://x.com/<handle>">@<handle></a>` it already emits for `contributor.handle`, plus a
+validator that fails the build if a token names a handle no entry cites. Then measure what it would buy:
+a census of every handle-shaped token in the 121 entries' prose panels, how many resolve, how many are
+already anchored elsewhere on the same page, and which of Q24's 25 clauses it would convert from a note
+into a link.
+
+**Scope boundary:** the convention is **implemented and measured in the build tree only**. No rebuild of
+the live site, no publish, no `blocks.json` edit, no third-party contact — publishing a build change is
+Alexander's, exactly as Q13 states. This item produces a design, a diff, and a census; it does not ship one.
+
+**Done means:** a record naming the convention's exact syntax, the `render_entry` change as a diff against
+the current `build_blocks.py` (sha256 `97fedb5dd5e85d2b10071e8e4904b3a9b1573072149e722fbece93eaf0774672`),
+a build that still emits byte-identical output for the 121 entries when no token is present, the
+handle-token census with resolve/404/suspended verdicts, and the list of Q24 clauses the convention would
+upgrade.
+
+**Evidence:** the diff, the before/after emitted-tree digests proving a no-token build is unchanged, the
+census table with a fetched URL per row, and the named Q24 clause ids.
+
+**Why it earns a slot:** Q24 closed with zero unclaimed executable items, which is Q7's trigger. This is
+the only piece of work in the queue that would change what the archive can *say* rather than what it
+already said — and it is derived from a finding that is already verified, not from a hypothesis.

+(`render_entry` line 310), `body_source_url` (323), `excerpts[].url` (333). `body`, `plain_summary.text`,

+`contributor-anchor` rows are real links. `contributor` also has **one** `handle` slot, so `G1` anchors
+`BTC_Freeborn` and leaves `@AnthonyDessauer` unanchored on a byline naming both.
+
+**Blast radius, measured by a real scratch build, not inferred.** Per clause: **25 of 25 change exactly one
+emitted file — the entry's own `index.html`**; no clause touches `blocks/index.html`, `sitemap.xml` or
+`ledger.css`. Combined: **20 of 125** emitted files (`/root/crucible/q24/BLAST-RADIUS.txt`,

+
+## Blocked
+
+Nothing blocked the run. One thing is **deliberately unresolved rather than executed**: `decisions/2026-09-26.md`
+item 13 (`magazine-091`) is approved at 2026-09-26T14:51:11.019Z with `proposed_action` *"publish the
+corrected wording to the live magazine-091 page"* against a `decided note` *"Do we even have authority to fix
+the publication? Add our note and escalate it to the author and mag publisher."* Per the item's own rule the
+**decided note controls**, so `D1` is staged and not published. Nothing in `decisions/` was executed.
+
+Limits, stated in the deliverable:
+
+- **25 clauses is not 121 entries.** No rate is claimed and the 96 untouched entries were not swept.
+- **The staged script is committed unrun.** Every clause was exercised in **check mode** (locator, field
+  span, and `old` occurring exactly once inside it) and **none was applied to the build tree's
+  `blocks.json`**. The scratch applications used for blast radius ran against copies under
+  `/root/crucible/q24/blast/`. `/root/crucible/q24/CHECK-RUN.txt` holds all 25 runs with exit codes.
+- **Every byte count and sha256 is a dated reading** from this host at the printed clock. The site root is
+  byte-stable at 215,8xx B but has carried two digests today; X pages carry a per-request CSP nonce.
+- **Whether the proposed wording reads well in the archive's voice is an editorial call and was not made.**
+  The note texts are drafts in the archive's register, staged for you to accept, edit or reject.
+
+## Next
+
+**Q25 — a prose-anchor convention for the ledger build**, proposed at the foot of `WORK-QUEUE.md` because
+Q24 closed and the unclaimed executable set fell to **zero**, which is Q7's never-dry trigger. It is the
+direct successor to this run's structural finding: design and implement the convention in the build tree
+**unpublished**, prove a no-token build still emits byte-identical output for all 121 entries, and census
+which handle-shaped tokens in the prose panels it would anchor and which of Q24's 25 clauses it would
+upgrade from a note into a link. Scope boundary stated in the item so it cannot drift into a publish.
+
+**Q13 stays gated on you.** Every clause in the pack is either a live-page text change or a link change, and
+the one decided clause is blocked by its own decided note. Nothing executed on `decisions/`.
+
+## Ask
+
+Three decisions, none of them blockers:
+
+1. **Release `D1` (`magazine-091`) or hold it?** The approval and the note disagree, and the note is the
+   one that controls. If you want the wording published, say so against the note; if you want the courtesy
+   note and the escalation first, `D1` stays staged. Either way it is one rebuild of one page.
+2. **The 24 undecided clauses — approve as a pack, or clause by clause?** The pack exists so the answer can
+   be one line. `A1`–`A4` and `B1`–`B4` are the lowest-risk eight (a URL that does not contain its quote,
+   and a direction word pointing the wrong way, on four pages); `E1`–`E3` change what three entries assert
+   about a source that no longer exists and are the ones worth reading in full.
+3. **Build the prose-anchor convention (Q25), or leave the archive's unlinked-prose style as-is?** Until it
+   exists, ten of these clauses can only ever be disclosures rather than links.
+
+## Run detail — Q24
+
+**Clock and host.** All fetches from this host, 2026-10-10 ~18:40–19:1x UTC. Working tree at
+`/root/crucible/q24/` (scratch build at `build/`, 25 live pages at `live/`, four target bodies at
+`targets/`, per-clause scratch applies at `blast/<id>/`, the combined one at `blast/ALL/`). Repo at
+`/root/troupe-standup`, branch `main`, HEAD before this run `afc6ec3`, working tree clean.
+
+**Scripts, all re-runnable.** `mkclauses.py` (the clause table and its field-span verifier),
+`gen_apply.py` (the staged-script generator), `blast.py` (per-clause radius), `blast_all.py` (combined
+radius + applied-page spot checks), `fetch_live.py`, `fetch_targets.py`, `run_checks.py`,
+`emit_pack.py` (writes the deliverable), plus `explore*.py`, `rawfmt.py`, `contexts*.py`, `dbg.py`.
+
+**Counts, recomputed not accepted.** 121 entries; entry titles unique across all of them (checked — that is
+what makes the title locator safe); the bare site root appears as an excerpt URL exactly **4** times in the
+whole file, so the `A` group is a complete census of that defect, not a sample. 25 clauses / 31 deltas;
+kinds 6 `uncertainty-append`, 5 `excerpt-url`, 5 `contributor-anchor`, 4 `direction-word`,
+4 `prose-handle-form`, 1 `body-clause`. Verdicts 1 decided / 23 undecided / 2 undecided-conditional.
+25/25 check-mode runs exit 0. Blast radius 1 file × 25; combined 20 of 125.
+
+**Four of my own defects, logged first in the deliverable's §10.** (a) The first verifier searched each
+entry's whole JSON region and reported `body` old-strings occurring **2×** on `event-2022-07-18`, because
+`body` and `plain_summary.text` share the sentence — field-span scoping is what makes `H1`'s two deltas
+land in two places and nothing else. (b) The staged script's first version parsed arguments so
+`--decision`'s value was read as the clause id, and every apply failed with the usage message. (c) The same
+version spliced **region-relative** offsets into the **full file** text, producing invalid JSON
+(`json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting ',' delimiter`). (b) and (c) were caught by the blast-radius run,
+which is the only step that would have caught them, and both were fixed before any count was published.
+(d) `magazine-070` was missing from the first live-fetch list, which surfaced as an empty cell in the
+emitted table rather than as a silent gap.
+
+**The control that mattered.** The build tree's pre-existing `EDITS/apply_editorial_fix_091.py` was re-run
+in check mode and still passes against today's `blocks.json` (`entries: 121`, `note carried by entries:
+[91]`, body now reads *"Comparing Twenty One, …"*, `CHECK ONLY — blocks.json not written`,
+`/root/crucible/q24/CONTROL-091.txt`). So `D1` is that delta restated in the pack's format, not a second
+staging, and the pack's one decided clause is the one the archive already agreed to.

+applied a fix, rebuilt the ledger, published a page, touched a live page, edited another party's file, or
+executed anything in `decisions/`. The only writes were to this file and to the staged script.
+
+**Result: 25 clauses — 1 `DECIDED` (with a conflict that blocks publication) and 24
+`undecided-for-Alexander`.** Combined blast radius, measured by a real scratch build: **20 of 125 emitted
+files** change if all 25 were applied. Every clause is one explicit `old → new` delta against
+`/root/stackchain-legends-build/blocks.json`, located by its entry's unique title and scoped to a single
+field's own JSON span, so a string shared by `body` and `plain_summary.text` cannot be double-edited.
+
+## 1. The build chain, measured end to end before anything was staged
+
+`blocks.json` is the build source; `build_blocks.py` emits the pages; the live site serves a copy of that
+output. All three legs were checked on this run, not assumed:
+
+```
+$ sha256sum /root/stackchain-legends-build/blocks.json
+63c9cee6103a6824c90c71440fa983d2f5592e380f9c3fb40f7ad366ae41723d  blocks.json          (278,459 B)
+$ sha256sum /root/stackchain-legends-build/build_blocks.py
+97fedb5dd5e85d2b10071e8e4904b3a9b1573072149e722fbece93eaf0774672  build_blocks.py       (22,256 B)
+
+$ python3 build_blocks.py          # run on a scratch COPY at /root/crucible/q24/build/
+Built 123 pages from 121 entries (121 cleared, 0 research-only)
+
+$ diff -rq /root/crucible/q24/build/site-ledger /root/stackchain-legends-build/site-ledger
+(no output — 125 files each, byte-identical)
+```
+
+The build tree's own emitted output is therefore current with its source, which is what makes a
+blast-radius measurement on a scratch build meaningful. Then the live pages:
+
+**Every page fetched: HTTP 200 and byte-identical to the freshly emitted file.** That is the 20 entries
+this pack touches plus 5 controls (`event-2022-07-18-anthony-enters-at-16-names-the-hill-at-24`,
+`magazine-036/038/053/068`) — 25 pages, `cmp`/sha256, 2026-10-10 ~18:5x UTC. The ledger index is unchanged at **200 / 34,488 B / sha256
+`4f764ef4dfb9c08b2654ff0783550d20ad1bb7a31cb0c32070974a5fe451557e`** — the same figure every earlier run
+today recorded. Full per-page list in `/root/crucible/q24/LIVE-READS.txt`.
+
+So the chain is `blocks.json → build_blocks.py → site-ledger/<slug>/index.html → the live page`, verified
+byte-for-byte at all four legs. **Documented.**
+
+## 2. Shared strings, quoted once
+
+`UNC_MAG` — the `uncertainty` value carried by all 91 magazine entries, verbatim:
+
+> `Archive summary of a published article, not the article itself. Quotes are short verbatim excerpts; read the original for full context.`
+
+Three entries have their own `uncertainty` text and are quoted in full in their rows. `magazine-091`'s
+is `UNC_MAG`.
+
+## 3. The clause table
+
+Fixed column order, as the item specifies: `entry | live page | panel | current string | proposed string |
+authority (artifact + clock) | decided / undecided | staged file`. `\|` inside a cell is an escaped pipe.
+

+## 4. Counts
+
+| state | count |
+|---|---|
+| `DECIDED` (approved, publication blocked by its own decided note) | **1** — `D1` `magazine-091` |
+| `undecided-for-Alexander` | **23** |
+| `undecided-for-Alexander` (conditional row — enters only if step 5's *named as a source of record* filter is **not** written into Q23's header) | **2** — `H3` `magazine-002`, `H4` `magazine-005` |
+| **total clauses** | **25** (31 deltas) |
+
+By remedy shape: 6 `uncertainty-append`, 5 `excerpt-url`, 5 `contributor-anchor`, 4 `direction-word`, 4 `prose-handle-form`, 1 `body-clause`. (`G3` carries an `uncertainty` note alongside its
+`contributor.handle` delta, which is why its panel reads *Contributor + Uncertainty*.)
+
+## 5. Reconciliation against `decisions/` — one conflict, and it blocks the one decided clause
+
+`decisions/2026-09-26.md` item 13 (`magazine-091`) is **approved**, `decided_at 2026-09-26T14:51:11.019Z`,
+relayed by `2eb50b7`. Its two halves disagree:
+
+- **`proposed_action`:** *"Approve: publish the corrected wording to the live magazine-091 page."*
+- **`decided note`:** *"Do we even have authority to fix the publication? Add our note and escalate it to
+  the author and mag publisher."*
+
+Per the item's own rule the **decided note controls**, so `D1` is staged and **not** published: applying it
+would put corrected wording on a live third-party-summarised page while Alexander's note asks for a
+courtesy note and an escalation instead. This is the same conflict Q13's record already carries; it is
+surfaced here rather than resolved. **This is the one clause in the pack that a decision could release
+immediately, and the decision that would release it is the one currently holding it.**
+
+`decisions/2026-10-06-human-gates.md` was read and bears on nothing in this pack (repository visibility,
+G2i skip). `decisions/2026-10-07.md` and `2026-10-07-cassian-write-grant.md` are cassian's write grant and
+bear on nothing here. **Nothing in `decisions/` was executed.**
+
+The pre-existing staged clause was re-checked, not re-staged: the build tree's
+`EDITS/apply_editorial_fix_091.py` in check-only mode still passes against today's `blocks.json`
+(`entries: 121`, `note carried by entries: [91]`, body now reads *"Comparing Twenty One, …"*,
+`CHECK ONLY — blocks.json not written`). `D1` in this pack is that same delta restated in the pack's own
+format, not a second staging.
+
+## 6. The structural finding: the ledger build has no anchor mechanism for the prose panels
+
+`build_blocks.py` emits an `<a href>` in exactly three places — `contributor.handle`
+(`render_entry` line 310), `body_source_url` (line 323) and `excerpts[].url` (line 333). `body`,
+`plain_summary.text`, `body_provenance` and `uncertainty` are emitted through `esc()` with no anchor
+support at all.
+
+**Consequence for this pack:** of the clauses the four closed audits routed here as *"anchor it"*, only the
+six `contributor-anchor` rows can be staged as a link. Every name printed inside `body` or
+`plain_summary` — `StackchainQuant` on three entries, `AriZonanHODL` on four, `Satskeeper`, the Lightning
+address — **cannot be anchored by any `blocks.json` field**. Those are staged in the only form the build
+supports today: a dated `uncertainty` append, or a wording change that makes the handle form explicit.
+
+Two things follow, both for Alexander and neither for this run:
+
+1. A prose-anchor convention (a markup token `render_entry` expands into a link) would convert roughly ten
+   of these clauses from a disclosure into a link. It is a build change, so it is outside this item's scope
+   and outside a wizard's initiative.
+2. `contributor` has **one** `handle` slot. `magazine-035`'s byline names two accounts
+   (`@BTC_Freeborn and @AnthonyDessauer`); `G1` anchors the first and leaves the second unanchored, and no
+   `blocks.json` edit can do better without a schema change.
+
+## 7. Rows deliberately NOT in the pack, with the reason
+
+| candidate | source that raised it | why it is not a row |
+|---|---|---|
+| `magazine-036`, `magazine-038`, `magazine-053`, `magazine-068` — the bare word `Saylor` | Q23's verification correction: rule 3b yields 8 bare-and-unlinked mentions across 6 entries, and names these four | **Over-match.** The token fired only because `https://x.com/saylor/status/1578479561750110208` is an excerpt URL on `event-2022-10-07-gui-s-2079-and-saylor-s-2080`. In the four pages the word is *"Saylor Academy's free Bitcoin for Everyone course"* (`magazine-036`) and *"Michael Saylor and Nayib Bukele"* / *"Michael Saylor"* (`magazine-038`, `053`, `068`) — a person and an organisation named in the narrative, not a citation of the X account. No dead source was missed; the detector cannot tell the two apart. |
+| `block-5` — the bare Wayback URL in Provenance prose | Q22/Q23 both graded it `resolve` and both said *no action* | It resolves (200, fetched with `-L`, 0 redirects) and the prose already discloses the capture date. Anchoring it would need the same missing prose mechanism. No defect. |
+| the `x.com/i/…` "nine-segment" addition | Q24's own step 5, as first drafted | **Withdrawn by the pipe** in the 2026-10-10 18:13Z addendum: no `<a href>` on any page the index links points at `x.com/i/…`. Adds nothing. |
+| `event-2022-07-18-anthony-enters-at-16-names-the-hill-at-24` | fetched as a control | No clause. `StackchainQuant` is not named on it; its named-source state is Q12's `event-2022-08-18` row. |
+
+## 8. Alternative remedy shapes, named but not staged
+
+Each of these is a real, explicit delta on the same entry. They are recorded rather than staged so that
+Alexander's choice is between two concrete texts, not between a text and a description.
+
+- **Strike instead of mark, `E1`–`E3`.** Deleting the `StackchainQuant` clause from `body` removes a
+  substantive claim the entry currently makes (the October account's report of several thousand dollars
+  raised; `1492` as a notable fork; the ~400-participant / $1.5 million figures). The report survives
+  through the separately cited Bitcoin Magazine anchor; the attribution does not. Marking keeps both and
+  discloses the dead warrant.
+- **Anchor instead of mark, `F1` `magazine-020` and `F2` `magazine-051`.** Set `contributor.handle` to
+  `_overflow__` / `humblebitcoiner`. Both handles return **404**, so this gives the reader a link that
+  opens X's *"User Profile Not Found"* page. Honest about the state, worse than the note.
+- **Handle the move rather than only the anchor, `G3` `magazine-039`.** `@captainsiddh` resolves but its own
+  description reads *"Now at @captainsidd"* and `https://x.com/captainsidd` resolves. Anchoring
+  `captainsidd` instead of `captainsiddh` would point at the live account; `G3` stages `captainsiddh`
+  because that is the handle the entry prints, plus a note naming the move. Anchoring `captainsidd`
+  silently changes what the byline says.
+
+## 9. Staging record
+
+**Staged file:** `docs/q13-fix-pack/apply_fix_pack.py` — 25,361 B, sha256
+`2d39df3cdfe466b33e45b19b8741f43b536d93e7ccde90f871e50e5cd6ffd1cd`. One script, 25 clause ids, because 25 near-identical scripts would put 25 copies of the
+same scoping logic in front of a reviewer instead of one; the clause table is embedded in the file as
+JSON and `--list` prints it.
+
+**Committed unrun.** Every clause was executed in **check mode** during this run — which verifies the
+locator, the field span, and that each `old` occurs exactly once inside it — and **not one clause was
+applied to the build tree's `blocks.json`**. Check output for all 25 clauses, exit codes included, is in
+`/root/crucible/q24/CHECK-RUN.txt`; the scratch applications used to measure blast radius ran against
+copies under `/root/crucible/q24/blast/`.
+
+**Before hash (all clauses):** `blocks.json` sha256 `63c9cee6103a6824c90c71440fa983d2f5592e380f9c3fb40f7ad366ae41723d`, 278,459 B, read-only this run.
+
+**Revert command, per clause** (printed by `--apply`; identical shape for all 25):
+
+```
+python3 docs/q13-fix-pack/apply_fix_pack.py --apply <id>     # forward
+# revert: restore blocks.json from a pre-apply backup, or reverse the printed deltas:
+#     <field>: <new> -> <old>
+```
+
+**Guard against an unapproved apply:** a clause marked `undecided-for-Alexander` refuses to apply unless
+**both** `--force` and `--decision <artifact path>` are passed, so the approval has to be named on the
+command line. `D1` applies on its decision record alone — see §5 for why that is still blocked.
+
+**Blast radius, per clause:** measured by applying the clause to a scratch copy, rebuilding, and diffing
+the emitted tree against the pristine one. **25 of 25 clauses change exactly 1 emitted file — the entry's
+own `index.html`.** No clause touches `blocks/index.html`, `sitemap.xml` or `ledger.css`. Combined, all
+25 clauses change **20 of 125** emitted files (`block-25/88/89/90`, `event-2022-07-18-the-5-invitation-
+becomes-a-chain`, `event-2022-08-18…hodlon`, `event-2022-08-28-the-fork-of-1492`,
+`event-2022-10-05…charit`, `event-2023-05-00-siggy-reaches-nostr`, `magazine-002/005/020/024/026/035/
+039/051/056/070/091`). Per-clause and combined tables: `/root/crucible/q24/BLAST-RADIUS.txt`,
+`/root/crucible/q24/BLAST-ALL.txt`.
+
+Spot checks on the applied scratch pages: `block-25` carries the
+`a-conversation-with-burnchainers` permalink and no longer carries the bare site root as an anchor, and
+reads *"quoted above"*; `magazine-091` no longer contains *"Comparing Strategy"*, contains *"Comparing
+Twenty One"*, and carries the correction note; `magazine-039` carries
+`href="https://x.com/captainsiddh"` and the move note; `magazine-070` carries
+`href="https://x.com/MidyReyes"`.
+
+## 10. Method and limits
+
+- **Every population was re-derived, none copied.** Entry titles are unique across all 121 entries
+  (checked), which is what makes the title locator safe. The bare site root appears as an excerpt URL
+  exactly **4** times in the whole file — the four `block-*` rows — so the `A` group is a complete census
+  of that defect, not a sample.
+- **Field-scoped, not region-scoped.** My first verifier searched each entry's whole JSON region and
+  reported `body` old-strings occurring **2×** on `event-2022-07-18`, because `body` and
+  `plain_summary.text` share the sentence. Scoping to each field's own span is what makes `H1`'s two
+  deltas land in two places and nothing else. Logged as a defect of mine, found and fixed before staging.
+- **Two defects in the generated script, logged first.** Its first version (a) parsed arguments so that
+  `--decision`'s value was read as the clause id — every apply failed with the usage message; and (b)
+  spliced region-relative offsets into the full file text, producing invalid JSON
+  (`json.decoder.JSONDecodeError`). Both were caught by the blast-radius run, which is the only step that
+  would have caught them, and both were fixed before any count was published.
+- **The proposed new values were validated, not assumed.** `https://www.stackchainmagazine.net` detags to
+  5,024 characters with `Skinner` **0** times and the quoted passage absent;
+  `https://www.stackchainmagazine.net/a-conversation-with-burnchainers/` (200 / 155,367 B / sha256
+  `33af2c4d78c7642db9a935cd9852ac22fffb151b443db3f49b097bc3964d9d8f`) carries `Skinner` **1** time and the
+  passage **verbatim**. `https://github.com/plebiolira/stackchainsiggy_nostr` returns **301** with
+  `Location: https://github.com/flav1000/stackchainsiggy_nostr`; the flav1000 URL returns **200 / 279,677
+  B**. In `/root/crucible/q24/TARGET-READS.txt`.
+- **Nothing was re-tested.** No row re-opens a claim Q12/Q21/Q22/Q23 settled; each cites the artifact and
+  clock that settled it. Where this run fetched a target it was to validate a *proposed new value*, which
+  the item's own step 2 requires.
+- **Dated readings.** Every byte count and sha256 is what this host read at the printed clock. X pages
+  carry a per-request CSP nonce, and the site root is byte-stable at 215,8xx B but has carried two
+  digests today; the clock is the evidence, the hash pins this run.
+- **Not covered:** whether the proposed wording reads well in the archive's voice (that is an editorial
+  call), whether any *unverified* entry outside these 25 carries the same defect class, and the 96 entries
+  this pack does not touch.

+"""Q13 fix pack - staged apply script for the 25 verified live-page clauses.
+
+Generated by Merlin, 2026-10-10, from the verified clause table in
+docs/q13-fix-pack.md. NOT RUN AS AN APPLY: every clause was exercised in CHECK
+mode only during the 2026-10-10 run (see the pack's landing evidence). Nothing in
+that run wrote to blocks.json.
+
+Scope, inherited from Q24 and Q13: this script edits the build source
+/root/stackchain-legends-build/blocks.json only. It does not rebuild, does not
+publish, does not contact a third party, and does not touch decisions/.
+
+  python3 apply_fix_pack.py --list
+  python3 apply_fix_pack.py --check <id>          # default: verify, write nothing
+  python3 apply_fix_pack.py --apply <id>          # write blocks.json
+
+A clause marked undecided-for-Alexander refuses to apply unless BOTH --force and
+--decision <artifact path> are given, so a staged fix cannot be published without
+the approval being named on the command line. The one decided clause (D1,
+magazine-091) applies on its decision record alone - but see section 5 of
+docs/q13-fix-pack.md: its decided note conflicts with its proposed_action, so
+applying D1 publishes a live page Alexander's own note asked to hold.
+
+Fails closed: every delta must resolve exactly once inside its entry's own field
+span, otherwise nothing is written. Reverting: reverse the printed deltas, or
+restore blocks.json from a backup taken before --apply.
