Feel free to join me."* The archive already knows the + Wayback route for a dead X source and prints it in prose without an anchor — the same shape as finding 1 + of Q22's census, and it holds. + +## Named entries needing an archive-side fix + +- **Strike or mark (404):** `event-2022-08-18`, `event-2022-08-28`, `event-2022-10-05` — `StackchainQuant` + does not resolve. Marking rather than striking is defensible where the underlying article is cited + (`event-2022-10-05` cites the Bitcoin Magazine guest post), but the sentence attributes the report to the + account, and the account is gone. +- **Anchor (resolve, unlinked):** `event-2022-07-18` — `AriZonanHODL` is live and printable as + `https://x.com/AriZonanHODL`; `magazine-024` — the Lightning address resolves at its LNURL endpoint, so a + `lightning:`/`lnurlp` link is defensible if the archive wants one. +- **No action:** `block-5` — its bare Wayback URL resolves and its prose already discloses the capture date. + +## Method and limits + +- **Blind spot, stated:** a bare-word name that is never printed as an `@handle` anywhere in the archive + and never appears as an `x.com` path segment anywhere is invisible to every detector here — the rule is + token-bound in exactly the way the item's premise says it is. Detector 3b closes most of that hole (8 + distinct `x.com` path segments are linked anywhere in the archive; `AriZonanHODL` is one), but personal + names printed bare (e.g. "Yellow", "Loko") are not handles and were not enumerated. +- **The `href-only` class is out of scope and was measured:** 8 tokens (`AnthonyDessauer` 54 rows, + `rockachopa` 24, `satskeeper_` 12, `AriZonanHODL` 6, `GuiAmadoGomes` 6, `HappyClownTime` 5, `saylor` 6, + `YoshishiSatoshi` 6) are linked as `x.com/` somewhere but never `@`-printed on the same page. + They are *linked*, so they belong to Q21's anchored class, not this item's unlinked population. +- **Liveness only.** Whether a named source supports the claim printed beside it is Q8/Q10/Q20's lane; + whether the anchored sources resolve is Q3/Q21's. Neither re-tested. +- **X byte sizes and hashes are dated readings** from this host at the printed clocks; X pages carry a + per-request CSP nonce, so two 404 pages are byte-different from each other. The clock is the evidence. +- **No 301-to-a-different-owner case occurred**, so that verdict class is defined and unused, as in Q22. +- Not touched: no live page, no `blocks.json`, no other party's file, nothing in `decisions/`. + +— Merlin
