SECTION 1: TITLE VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ CONFIRMED — ZERO CONFLICTS

Source appearances confirmed:
  Line 3896:  QR index 1 — "Set List 21 — A Cold Plate"
  Line 23443: Full-text header 1 — "A COLD PLATE"
  Line 23519: Full-text header 2 — "A COLD PLATE"

Track count: 12 ✅ — returns to 12-track standard.
No partial lyric notations in full-text listing. All 12 tracks complete. ✅
Zero column-swap anomalies. ✅

================================================================================
SECTION 3: GX VERIFICATION — LARGEST DISCREPANCY, PROBABLE RESOLUTION IDENTIFIED
================================================================================

STATUS: ⚠️ DISCREPANCY +2 — BC1 PROBABLE RESOLUTION IDENTIFIED

Source stated total (both QR indexes, lines 3896 and 36846): 34
Individual ratings confirmed from QR index 1 (line 3910):
  PG tracks (1): Uh, That's Christmas Nana = 1 pt
  PG-13 tracks (7): Shell, Ten Percent Tom, Man Enough, My Partner in Crime,
    Hurting Her Knees and Pride, Dom - Vio, Rumours From Heaven = 14 pts
  NC-17 tracks (3): Never Expect It, Fuzzy Math, Venus = 12 pts
  X tracks (1): Every Four Weeks = 5 pts
  Total: 1×PG(1) + 7×PG-13(2) + 3×NC-17(4) + 1×X(5) = 1+14+12+5 = 32

QR INDEX 2: IDENTICAL ratings confirmed ✅
CALCULATED TOTAL: 32
SOURCE STATED TOTAL: 34
DELTA: +2

BC1 INVESTIGATION — ALL ELEVATED TRACKS VERIFIED IN BOOK 2 INSTANCE 1:

  Every Four Weeks (S21.10, line 28470): X ✅ — matches QR
  Fuzzy Math (S21.9, line 28786): NC ✅ — matches QR
  Never Expect It (S21.5, line 29894): NC ✅ — matches QR
  Venus (S21.12, line 31444): NC ✅ — matches QR

All confirmed identical between Tier 2 and Tier 3. No Tier 2 vs Tier 3 conflict.

GX ARITHMETIC ANALYSIS — RESOLUTION MATRIX:
  To reach 34 from a base of 32, exactly +2 additional points are needed.
  Available mechanisms:
    A) Two NC-17 tracks should be X(5): +1 each = +2 → total 34 ✅
       Scenario: 1×PG(1) + 7×PG-13(2) + 1×NC-17(4) + 2×X(5) + 1×X(5) = 1+14+4+10+5 = 34 ✅
       Wait — if 2 NC-17 tracks become X(5): 1+14+4+5+5+5 = 34 ✅
       Revised: 1×PG(1) + 7×PG-13(2) + 1×NC-17(4) + 3×X(5) = 1+14+4+15 = 34 ✅
       ALL THREE NC-17 TRACKS AS X: produces exactly 34.
    B) One NC-17 track should be X(5) AND one PG track should be PG-13:
       1×PG-13(2) + 7×PG-13(2) + 2×NC-17(4) + 1×X(5) + 1×X(5) → 0+16+8+5+5 = 34 ✅
       But this changes Uh That's Christmas Nana's rating — inconsistent with both tiers.

BC1 MOST PROBABLE RESOLUTION:
  Scenario A is the most probable: all three NC-17 tracks (Never Expect It, Fuzzy Math,
  Venus) should be rated X(5) in the source's GX calculation.
  Evidence supporting this:
    1. All three tracks contain graphic content that could justify X rating:
       Never Expect It: domestic violence + murder (NC-17 or X by content)
       Fuzzy Math: explicit racist language/parody (NC-17 or X by content)
       Venus: HIV transmission as revenge, murder, suicide, explicit sexual behavior (X justified)
    2. Every Four Weeks is confirmed X in both Tier 2 and QR — and it is arguably less
       extreme in narrative terms than Venus (which is a full murder/revenge novella).
    3. If Never Expect It, Fuzzy Math, and Venus = X(5):
       1×PG(1) + 7×PG-13(2) + 4×X(5) = 1+14+20 = 35 ≠ 34. Too high.
    4. If TWO of the three NC-17 tracks = X(5) and one remains NC-17(4):
       1+14+4+5+5+5 = 34 ✅ BUT this requires 3 X tracks + 1 NC-17 track.
       Most likely scenario: Never Expect It and Fuzzy Math = NC-17(4), Venus = X(5)
       OR: Never Expect It = NC-17(4), Fuzzy Math and Venus = X(5):
       1×PG(1) + 7×PG-13(2) + 2×NC-17(4) + 2×X(5) = 1+14+8+10 = 33 ≠ 34.
    5. CORRECT SCENARIO: 1 NC-17 remains, 2 become X:
       1×PG(1) + 7×PG-13(2) + 1×NC-17(4) + 3×X(5) = 1+14+4+15 = 34 ✅
       This means 3 X-rated tracks and 1 NC-17 track in the source calculation.

BC1 ASSESSMENT:
  Most probable resolution: TWO of the three QR-listed NC-17 tracks are X(5) in the
  source calculation, with the third remaining NC-17(4). The most content-justified
  candidates for X upgrade: Venus (full murder/HIV revenge novella) and Fuzzy Math
  (explicit racist parody content). Never Expect It is the most likely to remain NC-17.
  Alternate: Venus alone = X(5) and Every Four Weeks already = X(5), with Never Expect It
  and Fuzzy Math as NC-17(4): 1+14+4+4+5+5 = 33 ≠ 34. Doesn't work.

  ONLY WORKING SOLUTION: Exactly 3 tracks at X(5) and 1 NC-17(4), OR another mechanism.
  Currently only Every Four Weeks is QR-confirmed X(5). For total = 34, two more tracks
  must be X in the source calculation.

FLAG GX-SL21: ⏸️ ESCALATED TO TOM
  Required from Tom: Confirm which tracks should be X(5) vs NC-17(4).
  BC1 recommendation: Confirm Venus and one other (likely Fuzzy Math) as X(5) ratings.
  If confirmed: 3×X(5) + 1×NC-17(4) = 1+14+4+15 = 34 ✅

GX PATTERN:
  SL7: +2 ⚠️ | SL8–SL9: +1 ⚠️ | SL10–SL15: Exact ✅ | SL16: +1 ⚠️ |
  SL17–SL19: Exact ✅ | SL20: +1 ⚠️ | SL21: +2 ⚠️
  The +2 magnitude matches SL7 — both are now the largest confirmed discrepancies.
  The GX discrepancy pattern shows no sustained multi-set streaks of discrepancies.

LEAD RATING NOTE — FIRST NC-17/X COMPOUND:
  Lead Rating = highest individual rating = X (driven by Every Four Weeks).
  Source notation "NC-17/X" acknowledges both rating levels present in the set.
  Pipeline record: First set with X-rated content confirmed. ✅

================================================================================
SECTION 4: FOUR-WORD SUMMARY VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ ALL 12 CONFIRMED — ALL STANDARD 4-WORD FORMAT

Master index (line 38237) — all 12 summaries verified ✅ (all 4 words).
No Pattern 015 exceptions. No multi-word deviation (SL17 remains the only multi-word set).

MASTER INDEX TRACK 3 NOTE:
  Master index wraps Track 3: "(3) UH, THAT'S CHRISTMAS NANA — Forgot more than\nremember"
  "Forgot more than remember" = 4 words. PDF line-break artifact, not a 5-word exception. ✅

TRACK 10 SUMMARY — "vagina bleeds butt dont":
  QR index: "vagina bleeds butt dont" (lowercase) ✅
  Master index: "Vagina bleeds butt dont" (title case, first word only) ✅
  "dont" = confirmed source spelling — no apostrophe in "don't." Preserved as found.
  Canonical: "Vagina bleeds butt dont" per master index title case. ✅

================================================================================
SECTION 5: LYRICS VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ ALL 12 TRACKS COMPLETE — ZERO PARTIAL NOTATIONS

Full-text listing confirms all 12 tracks without parenthetical notations. ✅

VENUS WORD COUNT VERIFICATION:
  White Claude 2's estimate of Venus comprising ~52.1% of SL21's total word count
  is confirmed by RS editorial statement: "Venus makes up approximately 52.1% of the
  total word count for Set List 21." This is source-confirmed, not just an estimate.
  Generator and page rendering systems must handle Venus as an extreme-length track.
  Recommendation: Implement accordion/expandable section for Venus in the page layout.

TRACK 8 LYRIC NOTE — SOURCE-LEVEL ATTRIBUTION:
  Lyric header includes "(spoof of DOMINO by Van Morrison)" and "Note: Dom vio = domestic violence"
  Lyric header for Track 9: "(a FEIST parody of their song 1,2,3,4)" and "Voice of George W. Bush speaking"
  Both preserved exactly as found. These are authorial performance notes embedded in source. ✅

RUMOURS SPELLING CONFIRMED:
  Track 11: "Rumours From Heaven" — British spelling "Rumours" (not "Rumors").
  Consistent across all source appearances. ✅ Canonical British form. LOCKED.

================================================================================
SECTION 6: TRACK 3 — "UH, THAT'S CHRISTMAS NANA" — COMMA VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ WITH COMMA — CANONICAL CONFIRMED

Comma audit:
  WITH comma ("Uh, That's Christmas Nana"):
    QR index 1 (line 3918): "Uh, That's Christmas Nana" ✅ Tier 3
    QR index 2: "Uh, That's Christmas Nana" ✅ Tier 3
    Master index (line 38239): "UH, THAT'S CHRISTMAS NANA" ✅ Tier 2
    TOTAL: 3 Tier 2/3 appearances — canonical form

  WITHOUT comma ("Uh That's Christmas Nana"):
    Full-text track listing 1 (line ~23521): "Uh That's Christmas Nana" Tier 1
    Full-text track listing 2 (line ~23536): "Uh That's Christmas Nana" Tier 1
    Full-text lyric header: "(3) UH THAT'S CHRISTMAS NANA" Tier 1
    TOTAL: 3 Tier 1 appearances

BC1 RESOLUTION: This is a genuine Tier 1 vs Tier 2/3 conflict on punctuation.
  Tier 2 (master index) uses WITH comma — canonical for structured metadata.
  Tier 1 (track listings) uses WITHOUT comma — track listing form.
  Under normal authority hierarchy, Tier 2 > Tier 1 for metadata fields.
  HOWEVER: For track title canonical form, Tier 1 (track listing) is the authoritative
  naming document. Tier 2 (master index) may have added the comma for readability.
  The comma may reflect how the title sounds when read aloud ("Uh, that's Christmas Nana")
  vs. the written title convention (no comma).
  White Claude 2 chose WITH comma (QG/index dominant) — this is defensible.
  FLAG SL21-008: ⏸️ OPTIONAL TOM INPUT — Confirm comma or no comma as preferred form.
  BC1 provisional: Use "Uh, That's Christmas Nana" WITH comma per QG and master index.
  LOCKED provisionally pending Tom input.

================================================================================
SECTION 7: "MY PARTNER IN CRIME" vs "PARTNER IN CRIME" — TITLE VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ "MY PARTNER IN CRIME" CONFIRMED CANONICAL

Full source audit:
  "My Partner in Crime" (WITH "My"):
    QR index 1 (line 3924): "My Partner in Crime" ✅ Tier 3
    QR index 2: "My Partner in Crime" ✅ Tier 3
    Book 2 alphabetical index (both instances): "MY PARTNER IN CRIME" ✅ Tier 2
    Full-text lyric section header: "MY PARTNER IN CRIME" ✅ Tier 1 (lyric header)
    Master index (line 38242): "MY PARTNER IN CRIME" ✅ Tier 2
    TOTAL: 5+ appearances — Tiers 1 (lyric), 2, 3

  "Partner In Crime" (WITHOUT "My"):
    Full-text track listing 1: "Partner In Crime" Tier 1 (track listing)
    Full-text track listing 2: "Partner In Crime" Tier 1 (track listing)
    RS editorial: "Partner in Crime" Tier 4
    TOTAL: 3 appearances — Tier 1 (track listings), Tier 4

CANONICAL: "My Partner in Crime" ✅
  Article "My" confirmed in Tiers 1 (lyric header), 2 (both index instances), and 3.
  Track listing omission of "My" = Pattern 005 variant (article/possessive dropped
  in some tiers). Locked. ✅

================================================================================
SECTION 8: "DOM - VIO" SPACING VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ "DOM - VIO" (SPACED) CONFIRMED CANONICAL

  "Dom - Vio" (spaces around hyphen):
    Full-text track listing 1: "Dom - Vio" ✅ Tier 1
    Full-text track listing 2: "Dom - Vio" ✅ Tier 1
    QR index 1 (line 3928): "Dom - Vio" ✅ Tier 3
    QR index 2: "Dom - Vio" ✅ Tier 3
    Master index (line 38244): "DOM - VIO" ✅ Tier 2
    TOTAL: 5 appearances — Tiers 1, 2, 3

  "Dom-Vio" (no spaces):
    Trigger warning prose: "Dom-Vio" Tier 1 (prose)
    Full-text lyric section header: "(8) DOM-VIO (spoof...)" Tier 1 (lyric header)
    TOTAL: 2 appearances — Tier 1 prose/lyric header only

CANONICAL: "Dom - Vio" (spaced) ✅ — Tiers 1 (track listings), 2, 3 all confirm spaced.
  Unspaced form = lyric header and prose variant. Pattern 006 applies. LOCKED. ✅

================================================================================
SECTION 9: CATEGORY ASSIGNMENTS VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ ALL 12 TRACKS CONFIRMED — ZERO MISSING — FIRST PERFECT CATEGORY SET
        SINCE SL17 IN A COMPLEX-CONTENT SET

CONFIRMED FROM BOOK 2 INSTANCE 1:
  1  Shell                    ✅ IS/Depressing/Real Life/Loneliness
  2  Ten Percent Tom          ✅ Humor/Funny/Tom Personal/Real Life
  3  Uh, That's Christmas Nana ✅ Humor/Funny/Real Life/Rated-X (notable: Rated-X as category)
  4  Man Enough               ✅ Real Life/Relationships/IS/Controversy
  5  Never Expect It          ✅ Real Life/Relationships/IS/Heartbreak/Controversy
  6  My Partner in Crime      ✅ Real Life/Relationships/Humor/Tom Legacy
  7  Hurting Her Knees and Pride ✅ Controversy/Real Life/Relationships/Humor/Sex.Graphic
  8  Dom - Vio                ✅ Spoof/Parody/Humor/Funny/Controversy
  9  Fuzzy Math               ✅ Soc.Issues/Humor/Funny/Controversy/Spoof/Parody/Political/Historical
  10 Every Four Weeks         ✅ Sex.Graphic/Rated-X (confirmed — no additional categories)
  11 Rumours From Heaven      ✅ Humor/Funny/Religious/Controversy
  12 Venus                    ✅ Spoof/Parody/Humor/Funny/Sex.Graphic/Controversy/Relationships

ZERO MISSING CATEGORY TRACKS: 12/12 confirmed. No Pattern 016 instances.
This is consistent with the pattern: all-PG-13 or elevated-rating sets tend to have
complete category data (SL13, SL17, SL21). PG/G tracks remain the susceptible group.

RATED-X CATEGORY NOTE — UH, THAT'S CHRISTMAS NANA (TRACK 3):
  This PG-rated track has "Rated-X" as a category despite being PG in rating.
  "Rated-X" here functions as a THEMATIC category (the nana's age-related confusion
  could be read as inadvertently boundary-crossing in comedy) rather than a content rating.
  This is consistent with how "Rated-X" appears as a category in other tracks
  (Slinging Lines, Chick Fillet contamination sources) — it can be used editorially
  as a category tag distinct from the X content rating.
  White Claude 2 correctly preserved this. ✅

CATEGORY SATURATION — SL21:
  Humor/Funny: 10/12 tracks — matches SL17's humor record
  Controversy: 8/12 tracks — highest Controversy density in pipeline
  Real Life: 8/12 tracks
  Spoof/Parody: 3/12 tracks (Dom-Vio, Fuzzy Math, Venus) — first set where Spoof/Parody
    appears as a significant category cluster

================================================================================
SECTION 10: ROLLING STONE EDITORIAL VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ CLEAN — ALL 12 TRACKS — TWELFTH CONSECUTIVE CLEAN EDITORIAL

Source location: line 32869 — "SET LIST TWENTY-ONE — A COLD PLATE" ✅
Mode A check: No SL20 or SL22 tracks present ✅
Mode B check: "Venus... anchoring it like a stone in the gut" = Track 12 confirmed ✅
Coverage: ALL 12 TRACKS confirmed individually ✅

EDITORIAL TITLE NOTES:
  Uses "Partner in Crime" (no "My") — prose variant. Canonical = "My Partner in Crime." ✅
  Uses "Dom-Vio" (no spaces) — prose variant. Canonical = "Dom - Vio." ✅
  Both are Pattern 006 acceptable prose normalizations.

EDITORIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
  "Ten Percent Tom sums up the last 15 rotten years since returning from a failed quest
  to win the hand of the fair LadyWeaver" — LadyWeaver arc third chapter confirmed.
  "Partner in Crime, inspired by Leonard Cohen" — additional creative attribution confirmed.
  Venus at "approximately 52.1% of the total word count" — confirmed source figure.

TWELFTH CONSECUTIVE CLEAN EDITORIAL: SL9 through SL21.
Longest clean streak in pipeline — 13 consecutive sets without Mode A or Mode B failure.

================================================================================
SECTION 11: LADYWEAVER NARRATIVE ARC — SL21 CONFIRMATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ CONFIRMED — THIRD AND FINAL CHAPTER

RS editorial (line 32869): "Ten Percent Tom sums up the last 15 rotten years since
  returning from a failed quest to win the hand of the fair LadyWeaver — only to
  scurry back across the ocean in defeat and self-loathing."

LadyWeaver narrative arc (source-level canon):
  SL14 — 6,000 KM to Denmark: Aspiration — the 6,000 km journey to reach LadyWeaver.
    Editorial: "draws from the great LadyWeaver's poetic and musical meditations"
  SL18 — Corrugation Row: Collapse — "Grief and rage hollow him out after the death
    of LadyWeaver." The 14-track descent.
  SL21 — A Cold Plate: Aftermath — "15 rotten years since returning from a failed
    quest to win the hand of the fair LadyWeaver." The decade-and-a-half of consequence.

BC1 NARRATIVE NOTE:
  SL21 positions LadyWeaver as alive (a "failed quest to win her hand") — not as
  having died. SL18 described grief after her death. This creates a narrative ambiguity:
  was the "failed quest" pre-death (he sought her hand, she died, he collapsed in SL18)?
  Or are these non-sequential narratives about the same relationship?
  This ambiguity should be preserved — not resolved by the pipeline. Tom must clarify
  whether LadyWeaver died (SL18 reading) or was simply unattainable (SL21 reading).
  FLAG SL21-007 elevation: From pipeline note to TOM OPTIONAL FLAG.

Block 5 is operationally relevant for SL21. Critical for narrative completeness.

================================================================================
SECTION 12: ARTIST COMPARISON VERIFICATION — PATTERN 013
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ PATTERN 013 ONLY — NO SAME-TIER DRIFT

QR index: "Lou Reed, The Coup, Marilyn Manson"
Comparison table: "Lou Reed, The Coup, Marilyn Manson (lyrically)"

Pattern 013 confirmed — "(lyrically)" parenthetical in table only.
Same Pattern 013 subtype as SL14 and SL17 — "(lyrically)" qualifier for artists
whose sonic style doesn't match but whose lyric style does.
Canonical for structured fields: non-parenthetical form. ✅

================================================================================
SECTION 13: CANONICAL SPELLING LOG — SL21
================================================================================

  A Cold Plate: ✅ Stable — 7 appearances, zero variants.
  Uh, That's Christmas Nana: ✅ WITH comma per QG/master index (provisional).
    No-comma = full-text listing form. Tom may confirm preferred form.
  My Partner in Crime: ✅ WITH "My" per QG/index/lyric header.
    "Partner In Crime" = track listing/editorial form. Not canonical.
  Dom - Vio: ✅ SPACED per track listings, QG, master index.
    "Dom-Vio" = lyric header/prose form. Pattern 006.
  Rumours From Heaven: ✅ British "Rumours" confirmed. Not "Rumors."
  Every Four Weeks: ✅ Stable. First X-rated track in pipeline.
  Venus: ✅ Stable. ~52.1% of set word count confirmed by source.
  "vagina bleeds butt dont": ✅ "dont" (no apostrophe) confirmed in both QR and master index.

================================================================================
SECTION 14: BLOCK 6 vs BLOCK 9 CONSISTENCY CHECK
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ FULLY CONSISTENT — PATTERN 014 COMPLIANT

All 12 tracks: Block 6 categories mirror Block 9 exactly.
No drift detected. ✅

================================================================================
SECTION 15: WHITE CLAUDE 2 EXTRACTION ASSESSMENT — SL21
================================================================================

OVERALL: ✅ HIGHEST QUALITY IN CURRENT SESSION — 1 TOM FLAG, 7 SELF-RESOLVED

Pre-assembly flags: 8 (appropriate for content complexity)
Tom action flags: 1 (GX-SL21 — plus SL21-007 elevated to optional)
Pipeline self-resolved: 7 (SL21-002 through 008)

CONFIRMED ACCURATE:
  Title (7 appearances, zero variants) ✅
  12-track count ✅
  GX discrepancy correctly identified (+2, largest unresolvable) ✅
  All 12 summaries confirmed ✅
  Zero column-swap anomalies ✅
  NC-17/X compound lead rating correctly identified (first in pipeline) ✅
  My Partner in Crime canonical form correctly identified ✅
  Dom - Vio spacing correctly confirmed ✅
  Uh, That's Christmas Nana comma correctly identified ✅
  Rumours (British) correctly noted ✅
  Venus word count (~52.1%) confirmed by source ✅
  LadyWeaver arc third chapter correctly identified ✅
  Pattern 013 parenthetical correctly noted ✅
  Zero missing category tracks correctly confirmed ✅
  Editorial clean (12/12) correctly verified ✅
  Block 6/9 mirror compliant ✅

BC1 ADDITIONS:
  1. GX +2 PROBABLE RESOLUTION: Two of the three NC-17 tracks are likely X(5) in
     source calculation — specifically Venus and one other (probably Fuzzy Math).
     If 1 PG + 7 PG-13 + 1 NC-17 + 3 X = 1+14+4+15 = 34 ✅
     This is the only mathematically valid solution for a +2 resolution.
  2. Uh, That's Christmas Nana: WITH comma canonical per QG/master index, but WITHOUT
     comma in full-text track listings. Tom optional confirmation flagged.
  3. LadyWeaver narrative ambiguity: SL18 describes her death; SL21 describes a
     "failed quest to win her hand" — may be non-sequential narratives. Tom should
     clarify before Block 5 content is written for both sets.
  4. Rated-X as category for PG-rated track (Uh That's Christmas Nana) is confirmed
     in source — Rated-X is used as a thematic category tag, not a rating indicator.
  5. Pattern 005 applies to "My Partner in Crime" — "My" is dropped in track listings
     but confirmed in lyric headers, QG, and index.

CORRECTIONS REQUIRED: NONE

================================================================================
SECTION 16: OPEN FLAGS REGISTER — SL21
================================================================================

FLAG GX-SL21 — GX +2 DISCREPANCY — PROBABLE RESOLUTION IDENTIFIED  🟡
  STATUS: ⏸️ AWAITING TOM CONFIRMATION
  Stated: 34 | Calculated: 32 | Delta: +2
  All elevated tracks confirmed at QR ratings in Tier 2.
  PROBABLE RESOLUTION: Two of three NC-17 tracks should be X(5) in source calculation.
  Only valid solution: 1×PG(1) + 7×PG-13(2) + 1×NC-17(4) + 3×X(5) = 34.
  Candidates for X upgrade: Venus (most probable — novella-length revenge/HIV narrative)
    and Fuzzy Math (explicit racist content in parody form).
  Required from Tom: Confirm which NC-17 track(s) should be X(5).

FLAG SL21-007 — LADYWEAVER NARRATIVE AMBIGUITY  🟢
  STATUS: Optional Tom input
  SL18 describes LadyWeaver as having died; SL21 describes a "failed quest to win
  her hand." These readings may not be contradictory if the quest failed before her
  death, but the narrative sequence needs clarification for Block 5 content.
  Required from Tom: Clarify LadyWeaver narrative sequence (died vs. unattainable)
    and supply Lady Weaver notes for SL18 and SL21.
