Reference: list REF103 (length/price audit, assigned by PM in PMU002); mark REF102 as corrected at r4; close the completion-times open request. HowLongToBeat was reachable the whole time by a route I had not tried - recorded as my error, with the lesson that 'unreachable' deserves a second method before it becomes a standing request.
