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 20:372-376 citation against indexes/jod-page-index.json (unchanged, already correct). Added session ("Wednesday Morning Session") and talk_order (2) confirmed against the Weebly page's own day-by-day agenda. Checked for volume-crossing continuation markers (given the genuine two-volume split found in this conference's own Taylor discourse) — none found here. Body length and closing "Amen" line confirmed against the Weebly raw-HTML transcript; no truncation.
