Heavyweight pass: confirmed JD 17:188-195 citation against indexes/jod-page-index.json (unchanged, already correct). Added session ("Monday Afternoon Session") and talk_order (2) confirmed against the Weebly page's own day-by-day agenda for the Forty-Fourth Semi-Annual Conference. Note: the Weebly agenda groups this under 'Monday' though the file's existing date is October 7 — the agenda's short title ('Live by Faith') matches a sub-heading within this discourse's full JD title ('We Have to Live By Faith'), confirming it is the same talk; kept the existing date. Checked body-length proportionality per page (given the truncation found in 1867 October's Erastus Snow file); confirmed complete, no truncation.
