The runbook's `known_gaps.research` β€” **polytonic +Greek / Latin / fraktur / long-s OCR** β€” carries the trigger *"before the historical/classical +corpus"* and **is the gate on the violin treatise**, whose sources are 18th–19th c. printed methods. +The works end (`project-chamber-versioned-releases`) already named the treatise as a purpose +awaiting the Chamber but not **which gate**. Written at both ends (`7868bd5` + the tracker) so +neither can be read without the other. Honest state recorded: Docling crossed that frontier on +scanned French (~11 min, M4, 104 footnotes, 0 cruft), **readable but not verbatim-clean**, and +**untested on polytonic Greek and fraktur** β€” that named test is the remaining distance. + +**Also found:** `06.

The steward caught the tracker proposal with two words. +The jurist caught a false claim I had made about my own code.
