Measure and scope
An absence of publication across twenty-seven records and not a fact about the world. THE PUBLISHED FIGURE IS TR-001's: US$9.50 million disbursed of a grant revised to US$146.43 million, 6.49 per cent, at the report's table 7.2, with every physical indicator at nil as at 9 July 2026. ITS CHANNEL IS DIRECT PAYMENT: the appraisal document puts US$144 million of US$146 million through direct payments to suppliers and consultants, so it is a disbursement of the grant and nothing opened establishes that any of it reached a Syrian account. The twenty-seven remain scoped to the register as at 10 August 2026 and to a register sweep, which is the method this correction shows can miss a routinely disclosed document || CORRECTED 22 August 2026 AT N3 OF THE v19 DIFF REVIEW, AND THE ROW WAS WIDER THAN BOTH THE PROSE AND THE EVIDENCE. This field said 'a grant revised to US$146.43 million'. THE GRANT WAS NEVER REVISED: it is SDR 107,700,000, put at US$146 million equivalent at US$1 = SDR 0.73740331 effective 1 June 2025, and the status report's original 146.00 and revised 146.43 are one commitment stated at two rates. This field also said 'ITS CHANNEL IS DIRECT PAYMENT... so it is a disbursement of the grant'. THE CHANNEL OF THIS DRAWDOWN IS NOT ESTABLISHED: the status report publishes a total with no breakdown by method, and the appraisal document allocates US$144 million to direct payment ex ante, by value, in the future tense, across three methods available at the borrower's option. WHAT STANDS is that US$9.50 million was disbursed against the grant, that every physical indicator in the same report was at nil as at 9 July 2026 while one non-physical indicator read 12 of 20, and that nothing opened establishes that any of the money reached a Syrian account. The row now agrees with FIG-00-016 and FIG-00-020, which it contradicted from the moment those two were corrected in the same pass that left this field standing.
Known conflict
TR-006, GCF readiness support, carries USD 1.9 million described as cumulative readiness support to date and is marked promotion attempted and not achieved. The readiness database or the award document is the likeliest place a published Syrian disbursement figure exists. Retrieve before print || AND THE ABSOLUTE FORM OF THIS CLAIM WAS FALSIFIED BY A DOCUMENT PUBLISHED THREE WEEKS BEFORE ITS OWN AS-OF DATE. SRC-350 was archived on 21 July 2026 and the claim was made as at 10 August 2026. No row carried the figure because nobody had opened the report behind it

Downstream
The book's framing finding
Action
SUPERSEDED 22 August 2026 by D-093, which takes option 1 of AQ-9. D-017's FIRST LIMB, that no institution has published a disbursement figure, is superseded to that extent; its second and third limbs, that an absence of publication is not proof that no money has moved and that the book states the whole of what the record supports, are unaffected and still bind. The introduction carries the corrected form at v18. Chapters 10 and 11 are undrafted and inherit the corrected form, so no correction pass falls on them. TR-006 is still unretrieved and is still the likeliest further exception || DESTINATION CORRECTED 22 August 2026 AT B0 OF THE v18 DIFF REVIEW, AND THE WRONG DESTINATION IS HOW THE CONTRADICTION SURVIVED. This field read 'Introduction and Chapters 10, 11'. CHAPTER 1 IS APPROVED AT v26 AND ITS LINE 47 CARRIES THE SUPERSEDED FORM IN A HARDER VERSION: 'None carries a disbursement. The category exists in the register and has nothing in it, and an empty column is a harder thing to argue with than a paragraph.' That sentence is exact about the Flow_class column, where no row reads DISBURSEMENT, and it does not read as a statement about a column. Its correction is the author's because the chapter is approved, and it is put to the author at AQ-11. Until it is resolved, draft/approved_manifest.tsv row 0 does not move, because moving it would put two incompatible answers to the book's framing question forty lines apart in the assembled manuscript. || SPLIT 22 August 2026 AT C1 OF THE CHAPTER 1 v27 DIFF REVIEW, AND THE SPLIT REPAIRS AN INCOHERENCE THIS PROCESS CREATED. The v18 pass rewrote this row's claim text to the CORRECTED claim and set its Status to SUPERSEDED in the same operation, so the row carried a live claim under a dead status and told any later reader that the form two chapters now print had been withdrawn. CLAUDE.md's rule is that a row carrying a status against no stated claim is worse than no row; this was worse again, because the status stood against the stated claim. THIS ROW NOW HOLDS THE OLD CLAIM AT ITS OLD STATUS, which is what v17 line 85 printed and what D-093 killed. THE CORRECTED CLAIM IS AT INTRO-004a. Raised because the v27 pass corrected this row's Destination field and did not re-read the Status column beside it, which is the standing rule the same pass invoked as its own prevention.
