Coverage: TARGETED pass at ACTA grain (1834–35; 12 long actas incl. the secularization reglamento enactment Doc 2, n11–n33, verbatim-verified). ⚠ CORRECTED 2026-07-28 (gap-read audit): the routine spring–summer-1834 run n53–n150 (~30 municipal/secularization sessions, ~55–95 lv) is BOUNDED-unread, NOT item-read — earlier '07-22 confirmed adequate' was a desk call with no reading session (last read 2026-07-01). Article SPINE (the enactment) is secured; upgrade n53–n150 (~1 session) ONLY if the californio draft needs 1834 municipal-politics texture. Peak Híjar–Padrés year. See [[gap-read-verification-2026-07-27]]. (“partial” = routine runs bounded, not itemized — significant documents are.)
