================================================================================
SECTION 3: GX VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ⚠️ DISCREPANCY CONFIRMED — THIRD CONSECUTIVE — ESCALATED TO TOM

SOURCE STATED TOTALS (both QR indexes):
  Line 938:  "Total Points: 17"
  Line 34001: "Total Points: 17"
  Both consistent. Source is unambiguous: 17.

INDIVIDUAL RATINGS FROM QR INDEX 1 (line 942):
  1  We Are the Ones       PG-13 (2 pts)
  2  Friend                PG    (1 pt)
  3  Speak                 PG-13 (2 pts)
  4  Applied Faith         PG    (1 pt)
  5  Slip Stream           PG-13 (2 pts)
  6  Sides                 PG    (1 pt)
  7  Invisible Prison      PG    (1 pt)
  8  Better Than It Seems  PG-13 (2 pts)
  9  First Glance          PG    (1 pt)  [column-swapped — see Section 7]
  10 Complicated Subject   PG-13 (2 pts)
  11 Fate Is a Word        PG-13 (2 pts)
  12 Believe Me            PG    (1 pt)

QR INDEX 2 (line 34001): IDENTICAL ratings confirmed ✅

CALCULATED TOTAL: 6×PG(1) + 6×PG-13(2) = 6 + 12 = 18
SOURCE STATED TOTAL: 17
DISCREPANCY: +1 (calculated exceeds stated by 1)

GX PATTERN STATUS (updated):
  SL4: calc 24, stated 24 — EXACT ✅
  SL5: calc 33, stated 33 — EXACT ✅
  SL6: calc 26, stated 26 — EXACT ✅
  SL7: calc 32, stated 30 — DISCREPANCY +2 ⚠️
  SL8: calc 19, stated 18 — DISCREPANCY +1 ⚠️
  SL9: calc 18, stated 17 — DISCREPANCY +1 ⚠️
  OBSERVATION: Three consecutive discrepancies (SL7–SL9) after three consecutive
  exact matches (SL4–SL6). Pattern is now structurally significant — this is not
  isolated per-set error. One PG-13 track per set is likely being scored as PG(1)
  in the source calculation. GX verification remains mandatory for all remaining sets.

DISCREPANCY ANALYSIS — SL9:
  For source total of 17 to be correct, exactly ONE currently-rated PG-13(2) track
  must actually be PG(1). Delta = -1 point.

  Content-based probability per PG-13 candidate:

  We Are the Ones (Track 1):
    Labor critique, mild language throughout. "Nod your head, say you're doing fine."
    No profanity. No explicit content. Strong social commentary but PG-level language.
    Downgrade probability: MEDIUM-HIGH.

  Speak (Track 3):
    "Blood on your hands" (metaphor). "Desire to kill" (figurative). "Bloodshed."
    Figurative/metaphorical violence only. No profanity. No explicit content.
    Downgrade probability: MEDIUM.

  Slip Stream (Track 5):
    "Just take one of these / You know what to do." Drug-adjacent language.
    "Take a trip, slip down stream." Context implies altered-state experience.
    PG-13 clearly defensible for drug-adjacent implication.
    Downgrade probability: LOW.

  Better Than It Seems (Track 8):
    "Smokes some pot as your thoughts become your friends."
    EXPLICIT drug reference. Most clearly justified PG-13 in the set.
    Downgrade probability: VERY LOW (strongest PG-13 justification).

  Complicated Subject (Track 10):
    "Violence and bloodshed shall never cease." War themes throughout.
    PG-13 defensible for sustained violence/war content.
    Downgrade probability: LOW-MEDIUM.

  Fate Is a Word (Track 11):
    "Passion's found in many shapes and forms / Within a tight black dress."
    Mildly suggestive but not explicit. Philosophical throughout.
    "Practice what I preach" — self-reflection, no profanity.
    Downgrade probability: MEDIUM-HIGH.

  MOST PROBABLE DOWNGRADE CANDIDATES:
    We Are the Ones (Track 1) or Fate Is a Word (Track 11).
    Either rated PG(1) resolves discrepancy exactly:
      Example: If We Are the Ones = PG(1):
        7×PG(1) + 5×PG-13(2) = 7 + 10 = 17 ✅

  White Claude 2 candidate list: We Are the Ones, Fate Is a Word, Speak, Complicated Subject.
  Black Claude 1 assessment: Agrees. Adds that Better Than It Seems and Slip Stream are
  LOW probability candidates due to clear PG-13 content triggers. White Claude 2's analysis
  is sound.

  STATUS: ⏸️ ESCALATED TO TOM
  Required from Tom: Confirm which ONE PG-13 track is PG(1) for SL9.
  Pipeline instruction: Use stated total of 17 as official GX until Tom confirms.
  Do NOT adjust individual ratings without Tom confirmation.

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

STATUS: ✅ ALL 12 CONFIRMED — TWO KNOWN EXCEPTIONS DOCUMENTED

All summaries verified against master index (line 38063):

  1  We Are the Ones      — We wrote the rhyme          ✅ (3 sources)
  2  Friend               — Learning love is priceless   ✅ (3 sources)
  3  Speak                — Before it is too late        ✅ (3 sources) ⚠️ 5-word exception
  4  Applied Faith        — Manifest your own destiny    ✅ (3 sources)
  5  Slip Stream          — Everything shiny and new     ✅ (3 sources)
  6  Sides                — No winners to lose           ✅ (3 sources)
  7  Invisible Prison     — We are the key               ✅ (3 sources)
  8  Better Than It Seems — Better than it seems         ✅ (3 sources) ⚠️ self-referential
  9  First Glance         — More than appears first      ✅ (3 sources) ⚠️ column-swapped in QR
  10 Complicated Subject  — Matter of war history        ✅ (3 sources)
  11 Fate Is a Word       — Practice what I preach       ✅ (3 sources)
  12 Believe Me           — Price that some pay          ✅ (3 sources)

FIVE-WORD SUMMARY EXCEPTION — SPEAK (Track 3):
  "Before it is too late" = 5 words. Confirmed identical across all three sources:
  QR index 1 (line 967), QR index 2 (line 34030), master index (line 38066).
  Pattern 015 (second instance after Discartes SL8): intentional exception preserving
  meaning. Canonical as written. Do not truncate to 4 words.
  PIPELINE INSTRUCTION: Use exact form "Before it is too late" in all structured fields.

SELF-REFERENTIAL SUMMARY — BETTER THAN IT SEEMS (Track 8):
  Summary "Better than it seems" is functionally identical to track title (case only differs).
  Confirmed across all three sources. This is not an error.
  CANONICAL: "Better than it seems" (lowercase in summary field). ✅

TRACK 9 COLUMN-SWAP (First Glance):
  Both QR indexes render Track 9 with rating and summary in reversed column order:
    Rendered: "9 | First Glance | More than appears first | PG"
    Expected: "9 | First Glance | PG | More than appears first"
  Consistent across BOTH QR index instances = source document rendering artifact.
  Values (PG, "More than appears first") are independently confirmed via master index (line 38072).
  Both values are correct. This is a PDF table artifact — not an extraction error.
  PIPELINE INSTRUCTION: Use PG as rating, "More than appears first" as summary. Column
  presentation anomaly is documented but does not affect canonical data.

NO MISSING SUMMARIES: All 12 tracks have confirmed summaries across all three sources. ✅
This is the first fully-populated summary set (no missing or blank entries) in the current session.

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

STATUS: ✅ 11/12 TRACKS CONFIRMED — 1 TRACK PARTIAL (SOURCE NOTATION)

Full lyrics verified for tracks 1–11. Content consistent with strategic arc
(labor, social critique, existential questioning).

PARTIAL LYRIC — BELIEVE ME (Track 12):
  Source full-text listing (line 7114) explicitly states:
    "12 Believe Me (first three stanzas)"
  This is a source-level notation — the source document itself acknowledges only
  the first three stanzas are present. Not an extraction artifact.
  White Claude 2 correctly preserved this notation and did not treat partial as complete.
  Three stanzas extracted are confirmed as present in source (line ~7560+).
  FLAG SL9-002: ⏸️ AWAITING TOM — Full lyrics for Believe Me required.

SET ARC COHERENCE CHECK:
  We Are the Ones (labor anthem) → Friend (connection/giving) → Speak (urgency/action) →
  Applied Faith (self-determination) → Slip Stream (consciousness-exploration) →
  Sides (idealism/transcendence) → Invisible Prison (mental freedom) →
  Better Than It Seems (hard-won clarity) → First Glance (planetary perspective) →
  Complicated Subject (war/history) → Fate Is a Word (self-accountability) →
  Believe Me (truth/consequence)

  Arc is internally coherent and consistent with stated strategic arc:
  "Labor, social critique, existential questioning. The working-class payload." ✅

================================================================================
SECTION 6: TRIGGER WARNINGS VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ CONFIRMED AND ACCURATE

Source (full-text section, line 7065): Trigger warning verified against lyric content.

Claims verified:
  Social and economic pressure ✅ — We Are the Ones
  Identity and personal empowerment ✅ — Slip Stream, Sides, Applied Faith
  Existential and spiritual questioning ✅ — Invisible Prison, First Glance, Fate Is a Word
  Emotional struggle ✅ — Friend, Better Than It Seems, Believe Me
  Violence/war/societal critique ✅ — Complicated Subject, Speak
  No explicit content ✅ — confirmed across all 12 tracks
  No profanity ✅ — confirmed. Closest: "smokes some pot" (Better Than It Seems)
    is colloquial, not profanity.

White Claude 2 trigger warning in BLOCK 8 is an accurate expansion of the source
brief trigger warning. All claims verified against lyric content. ✅
No overclaiming. No underclaiming.

================================================================================
SECTION 7: CATEGORY ASSIGNMENTS VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ⚠️ COMPLEX — MULTIPLE SOURCE LAYERS — SEE FLAGS BELOW

IMPORTANT SOURCE STRUCTURE NOTE:
  Category data for SL9 tracks exists at TWO levels with different authority:
  LEVEL A — Book 2 alphabetical master index (Tier 2, lines ~27000–31000 and ~42000–47000):
    Provides per-track category strings in format: "P13 Category | Category | Category"
    This is the source White Claude 2's Flags SL9-011 (page-break parse) was reading.
  LEVEL B — Thematic category index (Tier 5, lines ~38600–39800):
    Provides category-headed lists of all tracks alphabetically.
    This is a secondary cross-reference index.
  Both levels were verified in this QA session. Where they conflict, Level A (Tier 2) wins.

---

TRACK-BY-TRACK CATEGORY VERIFICATION:

TRACK 1 — WE ARE THE ONES:
  Book 2 (both instances, lines 31589, 46974):
    "P13 Soc. Issues | Motivational | State/World | Inspiring"
  Category index confirmation:
    SOCIAL ISSUES ✅ (line 39151 area — confirmed in SOCIAL ISSUES cont)
    MOTIVATIONAL ✅ (line 39443 area)
    STATE OF THE WORLD ✅ (line 39533 area)
    INSPIRING ✅ (line 38839+ area)
  White Claude 2 Block 6/9: "Soc. Issues / Motivational / State of World / Inspiring" ✅
  STATUS: CONFIRMED. All four categories source-verified.

TRACK 2 — FRIEND:
  Book 2: Not directly checked in this session but category index confirms:
    LOVE ✅ (line ~39620 confirmed)
    INTERNAL STRUGGLE ✅ (line ~38687 confirmed)
    INSPIRING ✅ (line ~38868 confirmed)
  White Claude 2 Block 6/9: "Relationships / Real Life / Inspiring / Love / Int. Struggle"
  NOTE: RELATIONSHIPS and REAL LIFE not directly checked against source in this session.
  PIPELINE FLAG: RELATIONSHIPS and REAL LIFE for Friend should be verified in next session
  or accepted as White Claude 2 extraction if cross-referenced from Book 2 master index.
  STATUS: PARTIALLY CONFIRMED — Love, Internal Struggle, Inspiring verified. ⚠️ minor

TRACK 3 — SPEAK:
  Book 2 (both instances, lines 30840, ~46225 area):
    Line A (before page break): "State/World | Death | Political | Depressing | Controversy | Historical"
    Line B (after page break): "Inspiring | Real Life | Int. Struggle | Motivational"
  This is the multi-line page-break parse (FLAG SL9-011).

  CATEGORY INDEX CROSS-CHECK:
    SOCIAL ISSUES ✅ (line 39151 confirmed)
    MOTIVATIONAL ✅ (line 39443 confirmed)
    STATE OF THE WORLD ✅ (line 39533 area — Speak not individually confirmed but pattern)
    DEATH: NOT FOUND in category index DEATH listings (lines 39455–39465) ← KEY FINDING
    POLITICAL: NOT FOUND in category index POLITICAL listings (lines 39548–39605) ← KEY FINDING
    HISTORICAL: NOT FOUND in category index HISTORICAL listings (line 39766+) ← KEY FINDING
    CONTROVERSIAL: NOT FOUND in category index CONTROVERSIAL listings (line ~39715+) ← KEY FINDING

  RESOLUTION:
    The categories in the Book 2 master index (Tier 2) take precedence over the
    thematic category index (Tier 5) per authority hierarchy.
    The DEATH, POLITICAL, HISTORICAL, CONTROVERSIAL assignments come from the Tier 2
    source. Their absence from the Tier 5 index indicates the Tier 5 index may be
    incomplete — not that these categories are wrong.
    The Tier 5 index is demonstrated to be incomplete (Applied Faith, Sides, Believe Me
    have NO entries there — yet have confirmed content).

  FLAG SL9-009 UPDATE — SPEAK DEATH CATEGORY:
    Death category IS in the Tier 2 (Book 2 master index) source.
    It is NOT in the Tier 5 (thematic category index).
    Under authority hierarchy, Tier 2 wins.
    REVISED VERDICT: Death category for Speak is SOURCE-CONFIRMED at Tier 2 level.
    White Claude 2's "questionable" flag was appropriate caution.
    DEATH is not lyric-prominent but the Tier 2 source assigns it.
    RECOMMENDATION: Retain Death category. Escalate to Tom only if he wishes to remove.
    ⏸️ FLAG DOWNGRADED: No longer requires Tom action unless Tom wishes to override source.
    Tom may optionally confirm whether to retain Death for Speak.

  White Claude 2 Block 6/9 categories for Speak: ✅ ACCURATE (sourced from Tier 2)
  FLAG SL9-011 resolution: Page-break parse was correctly executed by White Claude 2.
  Both category lines belong to Speak. Line C (SPINNING bleed) correctly excluded. ✅

TRACK 4 — APPLIED FAITH:
  Book 2 BOTH instances (lines 27522, 42907): PG with NO category data. Blank.
  Thematic category index: MOTIVATIONAL ✅ (line 39415), INSPIRING ✅ (line 38846)
  No other categories confirmed from source.
  FLAG SL9-005: Source omission confirmed across all instances.
  White Claude 2 suggestion (Inspirational / Motivational / Real Life / Spiritual / Int. Struggle):
    MOTIVATIONAL ✅ confirmed. INSPIRING ✅ confirmed.
    REAL LIFE, SPIRITUAL, INTERNAL STRUGGLE: not confirmed from source.

SECTION 10: CANONICAL SPELLING VERIFICATION
================================================================================

STATUS: ✅ ALL CONFIRMED — NO VARIANTS DETECTED

  The Thralls of the Flame:  ✅ 8 appearances, all identical. Zero variants.
  Slip Stream (two words):   ✅ Consistent across all appearances.
  Better Than It Seems:      ✅ Consistent. Capital B, T, I, S confirmed.
  Fate Is a Word:            ✅ Lowercase "a" consistent ("Fate Is a Word" not "Fate Is A Word").
                                Confirmed in both QR indexes, master index, Book 2 entry.
  Believe Me:                ✅ Consistent.
  Complicated Subject:       ✅ Consistent.
  We Are the Ones:           ✅ Consistent. Lowercase "the" confirmed.
  Applied Faith:             ✅ Consistent.
  Invisible Prison:          ✅ Consistent.
  First Glance:              ✅ Consistent.

No autocorrect risk items detected. No unstable spellings in SL9.

================================================================================
SECTION 11: THEMES METADATA CONFLICT
================================================================================

STATUS: ⚠️ CONFLICT PRESERVED — TOM INPUT OPTIONAL

Two descriptions of SL9's themes exist in the source:
  Quick Guide (line 938): "Labor, identity, systemic critique, resilience, connection"
  Comparative table (line 37412): "Spirituality, faith, resilience, emotional growth"

Both are confirmed from their respective source sections. Both are accurate framings
of different content within the same set:
  Labor/systemic framing: We Are the Ones, Speak, Complicated Subject, Listen
  Spirituality/faith framing: Applied Faith, Invisible Prison, Fate Is a Word, Believe Me

These are complementary, not contradictory. The set contains both halves.

White Claude 2 handling: Both framings preserved in BLOCK 4 with the conflict flagged.
This is correct pipeline handling. ✅

PIPELINE RECOMMENDATION (unchanged from White Claude 2):
  Use Quick Guide framing ("Labor, identity, systemic critique...") in BLOCK 4 structured
  fields. Use comparison table framing in BLOCK 12 archival notes.
  Do not merge or discard either framing.

FLAG SL9-010: Optional Tom input. No blocking issue.

TOTAL ACTIVE TOM FLAGS: 17

================================================================================
SECTION 16: SYSTEMIC PATTERN LOG — NEW ENTRIES FROM SL9
================================================================================

PATTERN 015 (NEW): FIVE-WORD SUMMARY RECURRING EXCEPTION
  SL8 instance: Discartes — "I think, therefore I am?" (5 words + punctuation)
  SL9 instance: Speak — "Before it is too late" (5 words)
  Pattern: When a canonical phrase requires 5 words to preserve meaning, the
  four-word summary rule is intentionally broken. Both instances confirmed across
  all three sources each. Both are canonical as written.
  Pipeline instruction: When a summary in all three sources consistently exceeds
  4 words, treat as intentional exception. Do not truncate.

PATTERN 016 (NEW): CATEGORY OMISSION CLUSTER
  Applied Faith, Sides, Believe Me (SL9 Tracks 4, 6, 12) all have confirmed blank
  category data in BOTH Book instances. This is the first observed cluster of three
  tracks in the same Set List with source-level category omissions.
  Prior instances: SL8 Track 1 Thirty Seconds (summary missing from QR indexes only).
  This is a more severe omission — data absent from the Tier 2 master index entirely.
  Watch for similar cluster patterns in future Set Lists. Categories may need to
  be supplied by Tom or derived from content analysis only.

PATTERN 002 UPDATE (GX DISCREPANCY):
  SL7: +2. SL8: +1. SL9: +1.
  Three consecutive discrepancies. SL4–SL6 were exact. The pattern now spans
  three consecutive sets, suggesting a systemic source-calculation method that
  consistently rates one track per set one tier lower than its individual QR entry.
  This may be a deliberate source-side rounding or editorial decision applied at
  the album level. Tom should be informed of the three-consecutive pattern.
  Every GX calculation remains mandatory for all remaining Set Lists.

PATTERN 017 (NEW): ALPHABETICAL ADJACENCY CONTAMINATION
  SL9 instance: Slip Stream (S9.5) contaminated by Slinging Lines (S24.7, X-rated)
  due to alphabetical adjacency in the Book 2 master index.
  Prior instance: SL8 "Make good first impression" (table artifact, different mechanism).
  This adjacency contamination is different — it is full category string bleed
  from one track's entry into the next. Confirmed in both Book instances.
  Detection method: Rating mismatch (X-rated categories on a PG-13 track).
  Mitigation: Always cross-check category strings against the track's own rating.
  If X-rated categories appear on a PG or PG-13 track, suspect adjacency contamination.
