Heavyweight pass: reconstructed true reading order from the conferencereport1907sa DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py). Resolved the bare_ia_source_link WARN: anchored source_url to leaf 21. Removed the printed synopsis line. Corrected fidelity_notes conference ordinal (Seventy-Seventh -> Seventy-Eighth). Fixed roughly 20 OCR letter errors throughout (a garbled clause fixed to and bless those who were assembled, eight-two/eight-third -> eighty-two/eighty-third, laboring- -> laboring (x2), cry ing -> crying, your' -> your, by -his -> by his, dili gently -> diligently, Jesus. Christ -> Jesus Christ, thev -> they, ihat -> that, Godfearing -> God-fearing, stray periods before Teasdale/weaknesses removed, na.ture -> nature). Confirmed the Doctrine and Covenants quotation is transcribed accurately. Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Grant own remarks, ends at his Amen with no trailing bleed.
