Heavyweight pass: CHL catalog record for April 1955 could not be verified this session (client-rendered SPA, Chrome extension unreachable); IA scan conferencereport1955a kept as retained top-level source per docs/review.md. Page-by-page collation against the scan (leaves 77-79, printed pp. 77-79) shows the prior ingestion had mislabeled this discourse entirely: the single paragraph it contained ('18:5.) I wonder what the thoughts of Judas were...Amen') was actually the closing lines of Elder Alma Sonne's address (running head on leaf 79 reads 'ELDER HUGH B. BROWN', naming the speaker introduced later on that page, not the one speaking in the opening lines — President McKay's own transition confirms 'Elder Alma Sonne...has just concluded speaking. We shall now hear from Elder Hugh B. Brown'). Replaced the body in full with Elder Sonne's complete discourse ('My brethren and sisters, I assure you at the outset that I will keep my eyes on the clock...'), transcribed and reflowed verbatim from the scan. Third Day (Monday, April 4, 1955) afternoon session, following Elder Antoine R. Ivins and preceding Elder Hugh B. Brown, whose own talk remains a separate, currently unfilled gap in the corpus (not part of this file). Set exact date, calling, session, and talk_order; corrected speaker/speaker_id/title from 'Hugh B. Brown' to 'Alma Sonne'.
