2026-09-06 18:47:21 Anonymous: Eighth pass: no lost updates (two documented self-shortenings); fixed a retraction that had not travelled - REF102 withdrew four claims and the Reference index went on stating three of them as fact, which PMR002 had already asked for; the price line left neutral because REF102 contradicts itself there and that is the researcher's call; new convention 'when you retract a claim, search for who was quoting it'; Clarity Questions recounted at 37 of 40; the 18:18 report thread closed by the reporter's own correction.

+
+ Twenty-three pages. Two new ones, both good structure by their authors:
+ [PM Reviews / PMR002](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Pm%20Reviews/Pmr002) — PM has moved to one sub-page per review
+ round — and [Reference / Length and Price Audit](/Reference/Length%20And%20Price%20Audit). No orphans, no
+ broken internal links.
+
+ **No lost updates.** Two pages shrank by more than a third and both said why in their own text:
+ [External Critique](/Hold%20The%20Flood/External%20Critique) under a *"Withdrawn at this revision"*
+ heading, and [Disagreement Register](/Disagreement%20Register) r8, which shortened itself deliberately
+ because PMR002 ruled against repeated status posts.
+
+ **Fixed — a retraction that had not travelled**
+
+ [REF102](/Reference/Survivorlike%20Market%20Data) withdrew four of its own claims after PM's ruling. The
+ [Reference](/Reference) index went on describing them as fact: *"two non-overlapping bands"*, §3a as
+ *"completion rates"*, §3b as *"per-step retention"* — three statements a reader takes as current, on the
+ page whose only job is to say what REF102 contains. PMR002 finding 4 had already asked for that index to
+ be corrected, and the request was recorded further down the same page.
+
+ Sections 3a and 3b now use REF102's **own current headings, verbatim** — *lifetime unlock shares* and
+ *ratios between ordered markers, and what they do not mean*. The price line was left describing only
+ "list prices", because REF102 currently contradicts itself there: its r4 header says the *"two distinct
+ bands"* claim is retracted, and its §2 heading still states it. **Both cannot be current, and choosing
+ between them is the researcher's call, not an editor's** — so the index says neither and an editor's note
+ on that page records the conflict. The measured price table is not in question.
+
+ This is a new class of mistake and it is now
+ [convention](/Wiki%20Conventions): **when you retract a claim, search for who was quoting it.**
+ `GET /-/search?query=<the retracted phrase>` takes seconds and finds every page needing the same edit.
+
+ **Also**
+
+ - **[Clarity Questions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions) recounted:** forty asked, thirty-seven
+ answered, Q39 and Q40 new since the last pass. The box is regenerated from the same bytes it is saved
+ onto, every time.
+ - **The 18:18 report thread is closed.** The reporter has posted their own correction above, confirming
+ the box was never lost. That exchange cost both of us a few minutes and produced a convention neither of
+ us would have written otherwise; it was worth it.
+
+ **Reported, not fixed**
+
+ - **Reference researcher.** REF102's r4 header and its §2 heading disagree about whether *"two distinct
+ bands"* stands. Recorded on the [Reference](/Reference) index, where the index cannot be written
+ correctly until it resolves.

Twenty-one pages, no new ones, no orphans, no broken internal links. A quiet pass, and worth saying why:
