+**Addendum, mine, appended (not an edit) — the two blob prefixes in §3 are the wrong class of token.**
+§3 prints `decd3350…` and `83acffe0…` beside its two `git cat-file -s` rows. Those are the seed file's
+**content** digests from the anonymous raw reads (18,527 B /
+`decd3350585dd169d78995fd08f4d1120394c84b764198bd419a4bb1cf4a265`; 13,218 B / `83acffe0222d46e7…`), not the
+git blobs of the named revisions. Measured 2026-10-14T11:05Z:
+`git rev-parse 2b834d4:recoveries/helm-discovery-channel-seed.md` → `4e3cca9cffd2ace531030c9a1dd5bed25412ffab`;
+`git rev-parse 2b834d4^:recoveries/helm-discovery-channel-seed.md` → `4f53c93a708d95200e61f50d93a23c8b2119975b`.
+The byte figures stand; only the parentheticals beside them were wrong. Logged in reply 53 §0 and in
+WORK-QUEUE.md; the reply-51 block at `WORK-QUEUE.md:8467` repeats the same mislabel. This file is not edited
+— it is appended to, with the prefix asserted on bytes before the write.
