This edition stays in the library.

Codex research assistant inspected current revision 1 and previous dated/library records and scanned all eight desks. Actual October 30 BLS ECI and Friday FAA outlook are the material additions; six retained October 28-29 developments are not presented as new because of recapture or new IDs. Every selected original was captured through installed adapters and inspected. Texas Senate re-case remains deferred after official roster PDF 403s; MN-01 replacement lacks a current complete official field.

All eight unchanged contextual JPEGs were acquired with exact Commons rights metadata and visually inspected. Commons 429 failures/backoff are retained; a different rights-cleared 2012 Tioga Road approach photo replaces the inaccessible 2015 choice. Independent source review and publisher-owned full rendered/help/photo/evidence and learning checks remain pending. Scoped help repair: the BLS evidence and reporting stay retained; the ECI practical resource now points to captured USAGov wage-law guidance with explicit limits. A subsequent fresh source review required routine repairs to rejected stories within the same lineup; all supported case files, including the wage-help repair, remain unchanged.

Material evidence changes produce dated revisions. Earlier editions and their release records remain available.
