Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Internet Archive scan conferencereport1929sa (100th Semi-Annual Conference, held Fri Oct 4 - Sun Oct 6, 1929). This conference's original ingest had the same systemic corruption pattern as 1929 April: sequential 'remarks-N' filenames with a fabricated date sequence and session labels assigned by simple file-position thirds rather than real content. Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py), extracted the true speaker sequence from the running heads themselves, and cross-checked every talk against the report's own exhaustive back-of-book index (leaf n133-136), replacing every date/session with the real value for all 40 surviving files (46 original files -> 4 pairs merged, 2 deleted as bogus content). Swept out a pervasive running-head bleed pattern (bare speaker names, 'GENERAL CONFERENCE' page headers, and session-boundary/music-close text) from most of the 40 files, rejoining page-break mid-sentence splits. Editorial flag: Elder Charles H. Hart's address (index page 73, between Stephen L. Richards' and Samuel Martin's talks in the Second Day Afternoon session) was never ingested into the vault at all -- confirmed a genuine gap, not a misplaced-content bug, since the adjacent files begin and end cleanly. Confirmed no other missing addresses this pass.
This is a living critical edition. If you find a transcription, metadata, or sourcing error in this talk, report it to the editors →Reports are collated against the page scan and land as corrections in the vault.
