From 1faf66dd79907d6ed10d068882b49ecc43b57478 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David F Glidden Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 19:24:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?docs(PENDING-181):=20ADDENDUM=201=20=E2=80=94?= =?UTF-8?q?=20two=20instances=20placed=20today,=20and=20the=20wrap=20measu?= =?UTF-8?q?rement?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit REVIEWED-138's title broke across two lines (instance 3 recurring, same week). REVIEWED-139's table lost the wrap-citation row entirely and half of the other, so the errata entry about citations that do not hold currently holds neither of its citations correctly. Both found in minutes by an exact-string check with a negative control, not by reading. Measured: today's 68 placed lines cap at 156 chars; the rest of the register runs to 2,184 with 502 lines over 150. So the wrap is not a standing property of the path and why today differs is UNESTABLISHED — recorded unexplained rather than attributed. What IS established: the damage lands only where a newline is semantic (headings, table rows), never in prose.
