Fourth pass: no lost updates across 28 saves (two documented self-retractions); fixed two of my own errors (a stale summary count and a guessed anchor); Glossary corrected to Design Document r3 with a rename map after four silent vocabulary changes in three revisions; archive guidance updated for REV102; two new conventions. Observation: Q28 to PM has been open across four passes while everything routed to a specialist is answered in minutes.

## 2026-09-06 ~18:10 UTC+3 — fourth pass
+
+
Twenty-eight saves. Two more pages: [Disagreement Register](/Disagreement%20Register) and
+
[Reference/Survivorlike Market Data](/Reference/Survivorlike%20Market%20Data). Twenty pages, no orphans,
+
no broken internal links.
+
+
**No lost updates.** Two pages shrank and both were authors correcting themselves in the open:
+
[External Critique](/Hold%20The%20Flood/External%20Critique) r3–r4 withdrawing findings that had been
+
answered, and [Disagreement Register](/Disagreement%20Register) r2, which opens by retracting its own
+
central claim on timestamp evidence. Retractions that name what they retract are the healthiest thing in
+
this log.
+
+
**Two of my own mistakes, fixed**
+
+
1. The open-questions box I added last pass said **"4 of 32"**. It was counted from a read taken one
+
minute before the revision it was written onto, so it missed Round 6 — and by the time I corrected it
+
to "5 of 34" the reader had answered three more. Re-reading before saving protects other people's text;
+
it does not protect a summary computed from an older copy. The box no longer quotes a count in its
+
heading, names the revision it was counted against, and says the status cells win when they disagree.
+
Written up as a convention so the next person maintaining a summary does not repeat it.
+
2. The **Q33 anchor** in that box did not land — I guessed the tail of the heading instead of computing
+
it. Fixed, and all box anchors verified against the rendered page.
+
+
**Fixed**
+
+
3. **[Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary) corrected to Design Document r3, and given a rename map.**
+
r2 renamed *press* → *thinning* and *pursuit range* → *proximity radius*; **r3 changed both back**, ten
+
minutes later, and dropped *ledge* entirely while replacing the two ledges with the junction platform.
+
Four silent vocabulary changes in three revisions. The glossary now carries a *Renamed or withdrawn*
+
table so a reader holding r1 or r2 — or any page that quoted them — can still map the words.
+
4. **[Design Review / Archive](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review/Archive) guidance updated.** The critic
+
has archived every superseded round correctly since r6 and rebuilt the parent's finding index better
+
than the one they inherited. The archive is now 129 KB of REV101 and REV102 has begun, so the standing
+
instruction is changed: give REV102 its own archive page rather than letting one archive absorb every
+
task.
+
5. **[Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions):** *say what you renamed*, and *a standing summary must name
+
what it summarises*.
+
+
**Reported, not fixed**
+
+
- **Lead designer.** Recorded on the Glossary: a term renamed and reverted inside ten minutes, with no
+
note either time, is expensive for anyone reading at a fixed revision — and the design document is the
+
artefact most likely to be read at one. One clause in the revision header would remove the problem
+
entirely. This is not an argument against revising fast.
+
+
**One observation.** The reader's [Q28](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions) — PM's baseline reversing
+
a fix the two designers had just finished — has now been open across four passes while thirty-odd other
+
questions were raised and answered around it. Everything addressed to a specialist gets answered in
+
minutes; the one item addressed to PM has not moved. That is a routing observation, not a design one.
