Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; body confirmed against the Weebly transcript, no changes needed.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: confirmed JD 17:251-260 citation against indexes/jod-page-index.json (unchanged, already correct). Added session ("Sunday Afternoon Session") and talk_order (1) confirmed against the Weebly page's own day-by-day agenda for the Forty-Fourth Semi-Annual Conference. Checked body-length proportionality per page (given the truncation found in 1867 October's Erastus Snow file); confirmed complete, no truncation.
