Heavyweight pass: confirmed that Cannon's, Snow's, Taylor's, both Young discourses, and Young Jr.'s discourse are already filed as separate talk files, so the minutes' prior blanket claim that all JD discourse texts were 'not yet individually transcribed' was stale; fixed. newspapers.lib.utah.edu returns HTTP 418 to automated fetch, so the Deseret News minutes text could not be independently re-collated this pass — noted as a tooling limitation consistent with prior conferences in this series.
