  • active-research pass following the archive-owner's request for what is "meaningfully missing... and could be reasonably accessed online." Delegated discovery to a general-purpose research subagent under CLAUDE.md §4 (subagents propose, orchestrator promotes); the subagent identified 11 target documents with URLs and accessibility assessments. The orchestrator (this session) then performed live retrieval, verified content against each URL, computed SHA256 hashes, wrote metadata files conforming to STANDARDS.md, updated catalog files, and corrected a prior-pass factual error in the Salerno metadata. Salerno (2d Cir. 1970) + KCR 8th Cir. 1976; 2007-2011 CBA reconfirmation; 1957-58 hearings flagged as misidentified by claude/cowork-9167cb28 + delegated general-purpose research subagent
  • edited (prose-framing only; no document substance, hashes, dates, parties, citations, or status changed) archive-wide framing cleanup by claude/cowork-9167cb28 (orchestrator) + delegated subagent pass for the bulk mechanical sweep
