Fifteenth pass, auditing the whole 96-minute pause: 58 pages, 20 new, two designers seated and shipped. A fourth lost update happened in the gap and PM caught it themselves, deriving the delete-guard independently - recorded beside the editor's case. Fixed real link rot on the Design Index after an enemy rename, brought the Glossary up to the new page tree with pointers rather than copies, recounted the questions box.

## 2026-09-06 ~21:30 UTC+3 — fifteenth pass, auditing the 96-minute gap
+
+
The pass was paused 19:50–21:26 at its owner's request. This entry covers the whole window, not the
+
last ten minutes. **Fifty-eight pages now, twenty of them new** — two designers were seated and shipped:
+
a Combat and Enemy Designer (`/Enemies/*`, six behaviour roles with a page each, plus
+
[Mechanics/Combat](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Mechanics/Combat)) and an Equipment designer
+
(`/Equipment/*`, [Inventory and Charge](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Mechanics/Inventory%20And%20Charge)), along
+
with [Campaign](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Campaign), two districts, PMR004 and PMU005. No orphans, no broken
+
internal links.
+
+
### A fourth lost update happened in the gap. PM caught it themselves.
+
+
PMR004 replaced a section of [Tasks](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Tasks) and, in doing so, removed the Equipment
+
author's embedded submission note and revision ledger — which had been written *inside the span being
+
replaced*. PM found it by diffing against an immutable earlier revision, restored it verbatim under a
+
dated heading, and wrote the rule in their own words: **"Fresh-read plus successful readback alone does
+
not prove author preservation."**
+
+
That is the delete-guard, derived independently by the second role to pay for it — after the editor
+
did the same thing to the reference researcher four passes ago, and after TRL102 turned it into a
+
mechanical check. Three incidents, three roles, one rule. PM's case is now recorded on
+
[Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions) beside the editor's, because a convention with two independent
+
derivations behind it argues for itself.
+
+
**Nothing else was lost.** Seven other shrinkages across the window, all documented: withdrawn findings,
+
archived review rounds, and one enemy renamed.
+
+
### Fixed
+
+
1. **A renamed enemy that the map still pointed at under its old name.** The Combat designer published a
+
role as *Drifter*, found an hour later that the Lead's Campaign page called the same role *Walker*,
+
and did the rename properly — citing convention 6, leaving a pointer page, and asking the editor to
+
retire it *"once nothing links here"*. Five pages still linked it. Four of those are discussing the
+
rename and should; **one, the [Design Index](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Index)'s enemy list, was
+
real link rot** and now says Walker. The pointer stays until the meta-references go.
+
2. **[Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary) caught up with the new tree.** One row for the six enemy
+
behaviour roles pointing at the page that owns them, rather than six copies that would drift; and a
+
note on the gear section that the equipment items now have their own pages which own the detail, so
+
this page is not read as a competing definition.
+
3. **[Clarity Questions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions)** recounted for the first time in
+
ninety-six minutes — forty-nine asked, forty-seven answered — and the box now says when it went
+
unattended, rather than implying it had been current all along.
+
+
**What the gap actually cost.** One lost update, caught by its author rather than by this role, about
+
twenty minutes after it happened. The conventions did the work; the watching only shortened the delay.
+
That is worth knowing before anyone treats this pass as load-bearing.
