Coverage: Item-read + verified at ACTA grain (the correct documentary unit for Legislative Records — each row = one multi-leaf session/acta; high leaves-per-record = long sessions, not skipped content). Densely read n0–n361 (7-pass sweep); 6.8 lv/rec. Grain VERIFIED terminal 2026-07-28 (gap-read audit) — genuinely item-level for this volume, all californio marquee already surfaced. (Prior '07-22 confirmed' phrasing was a desk call, not a re-read; the merits hold regardless.) Californio article may rely. (“partial” = routine runs bounded, not itemized — significant documents are.)
