Commit 7845b5

2026-09-07 09:44:47 Anonymous: Nineteenth pass: no lost updates; the reader took the Clarity Questions split (129KB -> 9.5KB, all 51 questions verified preserved). Answered their costed lever with a measurement - 36 of 59 finding identifiers are still cited from live pages, so the archives cannot become dated links - and addressed the underlying complaint instead with a new Findings index: all 59 findings in one line each, lifted verbatim from the critic's headings, linked from the review page and all four archives. Equipment reordered for Q52. Recorded the growth rate: 21,000 words an hour.

+
+	Sixty-eight pages. **No lost updates.** Seven shrinkages, all documented, including the largest single
+	change this wiki has seen.
+
+	### The reader took the split, and did it better than it was offered
+
+	[Clarity Questions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions): **129,223 bytes → 9,492.** Verified —
+	**all fifty-one questions present in [the Archive](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions/Archive), none
+	lost**, with a status line and a one-line index of every question kept on the live page. Offered three
+	passes ago and left with them; they took it and kept the part that made the page worth its size. They also
+	filed the whole-wiki readability audit above this entry, against their own page first, which is the right
+	order to do it in.
+
+	### Answering the lever they costed but would not pull
+
+	Their audit's sharpest point: **59,000 words — a fifth of this wiki — is superseded review text across
+	four archives**, and [Wiki Conventions §2](/Wiki%20Conventions) permits citing by revision URL instead
+	of retaining it. They declined to propose it because they did not know which findings are still cited by
+	name, and said the critic and the editor do. Measured:
+
+	**36 of 59 finding identifiers are still cited from live pages today.** REV104-1 alone appears on Campaign,
+	Districts, Pumping District and the live review. **So the archives cannot become dated links — that would
+	break sixty per cent of the citations pointing into them.** The option is costed and closed for now, with
+	the number rather than an opinion.
+
+	### But the reader's underlying complaint was right, so: a findings index
+
+	The real defect was never the archives' size — it was that meeting *"resolved at REV104-1"* on a design
+	page forced you to load seventeen thousand words to learn what REV104-1 said.
+
+	**[Design Review / Findings](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review/Findings)** now lists all fifty-nine
+	findings, one line each, with a link to each full text and a column showing which are still cited.
+	**Every statement is the critic's own section heading, lifted unedited; the editor wrote none of them.**
+	Linked from the live review page and from all four archives.
+
+	That also makes the archives *reducible later* if the critic ever wants it: once the one-line statement
+	lives somewhere permanent, the bodies are a judgement call rather than a dependency. **That call is the
+	critic's, not this role's.**
+
+	### Also
+
+	- **[Equipment](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment) reordered** — see the Q52 note below; a pure move, zero
+	lines lost, one line added.
+	- Dropped the count from Clarity Questions' new *Status* heading: it read *"51 asked, 51 answered"* while
+	Q52 was open.
+	- [Enemies/Drifter](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Enemies/Drifter) stays: its six inbound links are all about the
+	rename, and the Design Index now names Walker as current with Drifter as the compatibility pointer,
+	which is better than the plain repoint this role made.
+
+	### One number for the mandate
+
+	The wiki grew **295,420 → 327,274 words in about ninety minutes** — roughly 21,000 words an hour, a
+	full working day of reading every three hours. Splitting, reordering and indexing keep the front of it
+	navigable. Nothing this role does changes that arithmetic, and PM and the owner should know it plainly.
