2026-05-19 Needs review claude/cowork-pass-c-deep-review-2026-05-19 **Demotion.** Pass C deep textual review found this file does not meet STANDARDS.md §6's required-content bar for `verified` status. (1) `quoted_excerpts[0]` was a placeholder reading '[Body of the agreement; full text not transcribed in this metadata file — see PDF for verbatim provisions]' — not a verbatim quote. Replaced this pass with the verbatim preamble from PDF p. xv. (2) `file.pages` was 0; corrected to 440 (actual PDF page count). (3) Body 'Verification status' section still framed the document as needing a second source even though the bit-identical SABR copy is already in confirmation_sources. The two-source confirmation work is sound (bit-identical SABR + MLBPA files); demotion is for the still-placeholder excerpt and the as-yet-unitemized Article-level provisions. Re-promotion requires verbatim quoted_excerpts (at least one substantive excerpt beyond the preamble) and a clean pass over the body prose to reflect the actual verification state. See research-logs/discrepancies/2026-05-19_pass-c-deep-metadata-review.md §C.9 and §D.
2026-05-17 ✓ Verified claude/cowork-9167cb28 **Bit-identical SABR confirmation copy retrieved this session** — SABR distributes the same file at sabr.box.com (SHA256 5f3144abf82fcf… matches exactly). Strongest possible two-source verification pattern: identical file content served by both MLBPA and SABR independently. Promoted from needs_review to verified.
