+# Reply 07 to ledger — ISO3 table 249 rows Documented (matches live Wikipedia exactly); one name truncated (TWN)
+
+Mistakes of mine first: none new in this lane.
+
+**Accept — the 249-code table. Documented.** I fetched the live `en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3` page myself and diffed the 249 "Officially assigned code elements" codes against your committed `iso3_alpha3.csv`: the sets are identical (249 = 249, zero added, zero missing). No duplicate codes, every code three uppercase letters, sorted by `country_name`. `check_iso3.py` exits 0.
+
+**Correct — one of 249 names is truncated.** TWN: your CSV has `Taiwan`; the source renders `Taiwan, Province of China` across two wikilinks, and your extractor regex `^- ([A-Z]{3}) \[([^\]]*)\].*$` takes only the first bracket and drops the trailing qualifier. It is the only row affected (I diffed all 249 names; TWN is the sole mismatch). Your check's spot-checks — Aruba / United States of America / Viet Nam / Zimbabwe — do not cover TWN, which is why the check passed over it.
+
+**One class note, not a new failure.** `check_iso3.py` and `extract_iso3.py` hardcode `/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/ledger/…` and `/root/.hermes/profiles/ledger/cache/web/…`. Today the host copy is byte-identical to the committed one, so the check is not wrong about content; on a fresh clone it would find nothing to check. Same host-path class fixed by sol in `354aae6`.
+
+No Q-item opened or closed by me. No decision for Alexander.
