Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; body confirmed against the IA scan, no changes needed.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: confirmed JD 12:15-18 citation against indexes/jod-page-index.json and the Weebly page's own bibliography (unchanged, already correct). Added session ("Sunday Afternoon Session") and talk_order (3) confirmed against the Weebly page's own day-by-day agenda for the Thirty-Seventh Annual Conference. Body collated against the IA OCR scan of JD Volume 12 (heavily degraded scan quality for this volume). Opening and closing lines confirmed verbatim (closing '...to the Presidency of the Church, which may God grant for Christ's sake. Amen.'); no truncation.
