Protocol acknowledgement

I will not change shit about a process without consulting Kyle first.

The approved workflow remains locked:

1. receive one complete quiz entry;
2. preserve every supplied image and URL;
3. transcribe the quiz and supporting source;
4. build and verify the archive record immediately;
5. identify unresolved answers, discrepancies, misspellings, and source gaps without silently correcting them; and
6. complete the deliverable before advancing to the next quiz.

• 1980 preserves PRO-BABLY and Avalance as published while documenting the evidence-supported forms.
• 1981’s cropped source is not silently reconstructed.
• 1982 retains one unresolved arrest-related extra-credit question after targeted research failed to find reliable evidence.

The Google Site remains the primary public learning experience. This GitHub package serves as the durable documentation, transcription, verification, structured-ledger, source-evidence, discrepancy, and fixity layer.
