Three issues: (1) **`key_provisions` carries explicit `[deferred]` placeholder text** on multiple Article entries — `key_provisions[5]` says 'Article VI — Salaries (TOC reference): minimum salary, salary arbitration, etc. [full provisions deferred to future review pass]', `[6]` says 'Article VII — Expenses and Expense Allowances [deferred]', `[7]` says 'Articles VIII-XXI [deferred — full structural mapping requires further content review].' A `[deferred]` acknowledgment is not a factual provision attributable to a specific section of the document. (2) Body 'Verification status' section still claimed `needs_review`, contradicting the frontmatter; stale prose. (3) Factual error in abstract ('Pittsburgh Pirate Pete Rose Jr.' — Pete Rose Jr.'s brief 1997 MLB appearance was with the Cincinnati Reds, not the Pirates). Stale prose has been updated this pass; the factual error has been corrected; the `[deferred]` placeholders remain in key_provisions and gate re-promotion. The two-source confirmation work (BoB Wayback + SABR Box copies) is sound; re-promotion requires substantively filling out the Article-by-Article key_provisions against the PDF. See research-logs/discrepancies/2026-05-19_pass-c-deep-metadata-review.md §C.7 and §D. |
