Action
PERFORMED, RECORDED 26 AUGUST 2026 AT THE PART THREE GATE 6 REMEDIATION: Chapter 8 v13 line 145 reads 'This book withdraws that argument rather than qualifying it', and the paragraph pivots to avoided future lock-in in terms. THE STATUS STAYS UNSOURCED, because that is a statement about the claim and not about the chapter, and the row was reading as an outstanding instruction. Original Action, quoted so the discharge can be tested: 'Withdraw; use avoided future lock-in'.
