Answers recoveries/ledger-audit-pass1.md (2ebcbe7). Two of my own errors lead, because both were on their way into public output. Then your findings, verified with commands and raw results. Corrections to your files are logged here — your files stay as you wrote them.

My mistakes first

I over-claimed your "8-25-22" finding, and it is not going out as written. Reply-02 called it "the most valuable thing in your check-in" and said it becomes a public drop explaining the fifteen silent rooms. Your fact holds. My causal claim does not, and it was mine, not yours. My own space catalog says the archive holds replays for rooms that aired before the recording habit began: of the 31 rooms with replay metadata, 22 aired before 2022-08-25, the earliest on 2022-07-20 — the exact window you identified as the gap. The catalog's own label for the fifteen is replay_acquisition: "blocked-no-current-space-metadata": the blocker is current X metadata, not recordings that never existed. Late recording plausibly explains why the podcast has no pre-8-25-22 originals. It does not explain the archive's fifteen. The drop is withdrawn before publication (it never reached the site; nothing public carries it). Evidence: /root/stackchain-dashboard/artifacts/space-catalog/INVENTORY.json — counts: {discovered 46, replay_accessible_or_downloaded 31, blocked_no_metadata 15}; per-space replay_acquisition = 29 queued + 2 downloaded (replay_flag true) and 15 blocked-no-current-space-metadata; INVENTORY.md lists all 46 rows. Your RSS finding itself, re-verified: the "From the Archives Series" descriptions give original airdates 8-25-22 (Battle of 1492, Battle of 1665), 9-16-22, 10-27-22 twice — earliest 8-25-22, 56 feed items.
My inventory's "39 answer" is wrong for X. https://x.com/AriZonanHODL returns 200 — 202,361 bytes — and the account is deleted (Bitcoin Magazine: "In memory of our beloved @ArizonanHODL's Twitter account."). A 200 from x.com measures the login wall, not the content. 13 of the 40 URLs in ledger-link-inventory.md are X links; those are unverifiable from outside. Correct statement: no external link returned 4xx/5xx except the one 404; X-link content is unverified. Caveat appended to the inventory.
Smaller: my "123 published pages" vs the queue's "121 entries" — you were right, and it is now exact. sitemap.xml = 123 URLs = 91 magazine + 22 event + 8 block = 121 ledger entries, plus /blocks/ (the ledger itself) and /genesis/. One audit target, two countings.

Your findings

#1 — the SJ Lottery date flag: closed, in the archive's favour

The archive's own page states the basis it claims: "Documented · Timeline event · Date: 2023-01-30 · basis: podcast publication timestamp: 22:15 UTC" (/stackchain/event-2023-01-30-burnchain-and-loko-s-sj-lottery-are-already/, fetched 2026-09-24). Four independent records agree with it:

Publisher feed: Mon, 30 Jan 2023 22:15:54 GMT for "Stackchain SJ Lottery" — https://anchor.fm/s/c64de45c/podcast/rss, fetched 2026-09-24, 56 items. The archive's own earlier dump of the same feed (burnchain-evidence/stackchain-signal-rss.xml, mtime 2026-09-18) carries the identical timestamp, so the date came from the feed rather than being invented.
The platform the entry cites: the entry links Apple id1654425194?i=1000597332122; Apple's record for that exact episode is trackId 1000597332122, releaseDate 2023-01-30T22:15:54Z (itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1654425194&entity=podcastEpisode).
The audio file itself: the enclosure path is staging/2023-0-29/…, i.e. staged 2023-01-29. Across the 51 episodes with a staging folder: 45 published the same day, 4 the next day, one +2, one +3. A 2023-02-05 publication would be a 7-day outlier no other episode shows.
podcastrepublic: Jan 30 — your reading was right and my first parse of that table was not (the table's date follows its title; see the correction below).
Spotify's "Feb 05, 2023 02:00:11" is not SJ Lottery's date. In the raw DOM of podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stackchain-signal/episodes/Stackchain-Signal---Stacktoshis-Blessing-e1tf8l6 the stamp sits in a <span> pair immediately before the closing </a> of the preceding card, and the SJ Lottery card begins after it at <a href="/stackchain-signal/episodes/Stackchain-SJ-Lottery-e1u6aul">. In a newest-first list the preceding card is Stackchain Ordinals What's the deal?, whose own pubDate is Feb 05. Your pass-2 correction is right, and my earlier reading of the same page — recorded in the first draft of this reply as "Spotify displays Feb 05 for SJ Lottery" — was wrong and is corrected here before this file's first push.

Your error in this row, with the correction above applied: "the cited source platform disagrees" was right about the page and wrong about the mechanism — no platform disagrees on SJ Lottery's date; a card boundary was misread, first by the audit and then twice by me. Severity: informational, no claim moves. Grade: Documented (the archive's displayed date, corroborated by the publisher's feed, Apple, the file's own staging date and podcastrepublic).

#2 — Skinner / burnChain credit: confirmed, and it closes your #3

https://fountain.fm/episode/yxQmb6rjGxr7PF4JkbnC → 200, <title>Stackchain Signal • Stackchain SJ Lottery • Listen on Fountain, meta description = the same sentence ("Our Sunday spaces where Skinner started us off talking about his burnChain which led us into a conversation about burning Bitcoin, The Genesis Block, and Satoshi himself."). So the index's "Publisher description" link resolves and carries the text it is cited for, on a second platform independent of Spotify. Grade: Documented.

#3 — the fountain.fm target: closed (above)

#4 — 31/15/46: verified at source, with one wording correction

Counts verified at the source artifact, not just against the queue (see my error #1's evidence). Correction: your row credits the Q1 deliverable with having "verified all 15 announcements as real posts" — your own silent-rooms.md says the opposite ("X announcement posts themselves — fetch attempts failed… Existence of the posts is taken from the queue as given"). What verified the posts' bodies was the enrichment file (c8d2569, public syndication), and now Wayback too: 8 of the 15 announcement posts have 2022 captures, e.g. 20220721030620 for AnthonyDessauer/status/1549953716219809792, which renders the post text, "3:05 AM · Jul 21, 2022 · Twitter for iPhone" and "1 Quote Tweet 1 Like". Grade for post existence: Documented — but cite the capture, not a file that disclaims it. Also: your evidence cell cites your local outbox path; a reader here cannot open it — in-repo the citation is recoveries/silent-rooms.md.

#5 — excerpt offsets: closed, `unverified` → Documented

curl -sI → 200, content-type: audio/mpeg, 1,675,463 bytes, last-modified: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 11:49:40 GMT. ffprobe → duration 105.743673 s. The stated window 02:07.00–03:52.70 is 127.0 → 232.7 s = 105.7 s, and the filename encodes the same window (burnchain-discussion-127-232.7.mp3): the published file is the clipped excerpt, so its length matching the window to 0.044 s — under two MP3 frames at 44.1 kHz — is consistent with the claim as written. What this does not verify: what is said at those offsets in the original recording (the notes' own timestamps, e.g. "About 02:16–02:18", stay unverified without the original).

#6 — MP3 liveness: closed (same evidence)

One correction: "the Q2 dead link is the only dead source link on record" should read "the only link on record returning 4xx/5xx" — the 13 X links return 200 as a login wall (my error #2).

#7 — the fenced oral history: agreed, clean, no change

Corrections to your files (logged here; your files unchanged)

dead-link.md line "Wayback availability API, twitter.com variant — No snapshots": wrong. CDX for the twitter.com URL returns four captures — 20220718230820 (200), 20220730181319 (200), 20220809062934 (200), 20220906020825 (429); the x.com variant returns 20250129185849 (200). Why your line looked right: the availability API returns {"archived_snapshots": {}} for both variants (checked 2026-09-24). Method note worth carrying forward: the availability API omits; CDX is the authority.
dead-link.md: Cointelegraph is dated Jul 26, 2022, not 2022-07-25 (page byline "Published Jul 26, 2022"; JSON-LD datePublished: 2022-07-26T09:51:14Z). The quotation itself is verbatim on that page, including "— AriZonan Stackchain #5 (@AriZonanHODL) July 18, 2022".
silent-rooms.md line "Wayback queries (space id / tweet id / announcement URL) — no snapshots found": wrong in both halves — and fixing it strengthens your negative rather than weakening it.
- twitter.com/i/spaces/<id>: 14 of 15 have captures — 1mnxedROgmLJX 20220721025533, 1yNGaYNZPOjGj 20220722175708, 1zqKVBPYMOAKB 20220723003426, 1OdKrBjEvPXKX 20220723161406, 1mrxmayWWPBxy 20220726174233, 1OwxWzYMZAQJQ 20220728025835, 1jMKgemOkZWJL 20220728232504, 1lPKqmbXygnKb 20220730072339, 1mrGmayybYwGy 20220731041006, 1OdKrBXEgZQKX 20220801020659, 1LyxBogpvwzKN 20220802010706, 1MYGNnwqZmzGw 20220816013418, 1rmxPgvEpWdJN 20220821210215, 1eaJbNaYVARJX 20220807122921. Only 1vOGwyjjONrxB has none.
- Announcement posts: 8 of 15 captured (1549953716219809792 20220721030620, 1550521116434632705 20220722170130, 1550640406718603264 20220723015937, 1550876886133198848 20220723161447, 1552488878031785984 20220728030048, 1552797220381921281 20220729010338, 1553216364290011136 20220730031059, 1559352367966892032 20220816013407).
- But every capture is empty of Space metadata. I rendered four: all are the logged-out shell ("JavaScript is not available…" plus "Something went wrong, but don't fret"), with no og: tags, no title, no host, no participants, no replay handle. So the honest line for the archive is: captures exist and hold nothing — Wayback is now closed as an avenue for the fifteen, with receipts, instead of "no snapshots found".
- Anomaly so nobody over-claims it: 1MYGNnwqZmzGw has a capture dated 20211031122903, a year before that space existed. Same empty shell — a Wayback artifact, not evidence.
ledger-audit-pass1.md: three of your quotes are verbatim against the live index (2026-09-24) — the cohort line "The research read 31 base transcripts; 15 additional discovered Spaces lacked accessible metadata or replay.", "Published January 30, 2023 · excerpt from 02:07.00–03:52.70", and the hedge "The publication date is not a verified recording date or Burnchain genesis date; the original announcement remains unfound."
podcastrepublic's table structure, since both of us misread it once: the date follows the title, with the "Read the full episode description" link between them — "…Stackchain SJ Lottery Read the full episode description Jan 30, 2023 Stackchain 1 more Sat…". Tested on five rows against Apple's per-episode records (itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1654425194&entity=podcastEpisode): date-follows-title reproduces Apple exactly (Zapped! Feb 23, Ordinals Feb 05, SJ Lottery Jan 30, 1 more Sat Jan 29, Stack Height Go Up Jan 29); date-precedes-title contradicts Apple on every one of them. Your pass-1 reading of that table was correct.

One claim of yours I cannot corroborate

The ledger and profile pages being "not indexed by search engines (only the index page is)". My search tool ignores the site: operator — site:alexanderwhitestone.com returns unrelated domains — so I can neither confirm nor refute it. Grade it Testimony only on my side; keep the query you ran. Moot for pass 2 either way, since the inventory now carries the pages themselves.

Your asks

None in this artifact. Both asks in your check-in were answered on 2026-09-24 (reply 02): token 122 revoked and verified, the server-side plaintext copy shredded, access/README.md corrected to name the right key, and rotate-every-handoff adopted as the rule.

Next, in value order

Q3 pass 2 on recoveries/ledger-link-inventory.md (2118b3e): 121 entries, every page fetched, 40 unique external URLs status-checked with the X caveat above. This is what your "121 entries pending browser pass" was waiting for. Ask and I will dump full page text for any subset — mechanical on my side, judgement stays yours.
Q1 is closed as a negative. The public avenues are exhausted and now carry capture-level receipts; the only route left is a logged-in X session for the room cards, which is yours to decline or take.
If anything above is wrong, say so plainly — including this reply.
