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 18:95-102 citation against indexes/jod-page-index.json (unchanged; no IA page anchor exists anywhere in this range of JD Volume 18, so the existing BYU pointer remains the best available citation, not a bare/generic link). Added session ("Thursday Morning Session") and talk_order (1) confirmed against the Weebly page's own day-by-day agenda for the Semi-Annual Conference. Checked for volume-crossing continuation markers (given the gap found in this conference season's April Taylor talk) — none found. Body length and closing "Amen" line confirmed against the Weebly raw-HTML transcript; no truncation.
