Round five validation — September 7, 2026

This batch adds 50 distinct new entries, bringing the public collection from 300 to 350.

Compared the changelog manifest against entry hashes captured before work: exactly 50 new files, no changed baseline entry files, and 50 distinct changelog items.
Verified 350 unique search records and matching people/topic index links, required entry metadata, citations, Updates navigation and all public internal links.
Rebuilt the catalog after final edits and verified that a second run produced identical generated output.
Reviewed all 50 narratives. A second agent checked the root’s five stories against the diary images, recruitment flyer, engineering record and cited histories. Sampled investigation findings were independently compared with NTSB and Supreme Court texts.
Checked source URLs against the existing collection. Shortened the Fenwick Manor account to share its source budget with the earlier Mary Ann Forge entry. Annual-report mirrors were checked by underlying report year.
Utility tests passed: 26 tests (node --test test/feeds.test.js accountability/pace.test.js).
Clean Jekyll production build passed from tracked HEAD plus Pine Barrens changes. Required publication files exist, excluded application directories and source-code artifacts are absent, and built search contains 350 records.
Playwright confirmed 50 rendered items in the newest changelog batch, no desktop overflow, and 390-pixel document width at a 390 × 844 mobile viewport. Story and changelog screenshots were visually inspected. Searching for chaffseed returned its new entry.

Verification used the local site and an isolated publication build. Repository deployment follows the push.
