Compiled across the three passes; each trap with the discipline that disarms it

The same name in several record systems is this build's standing hazard, and its traps are named so they stay disarmed. The two GNIS records — civil and populated-place, one ground — from which no founding sequence may be inferred (T-1). The other Indian Villages: Noble County's, which owns the Papakeecha story and the 1867–1888 post office (T-2); Fort Wayne's historic-district subdivision (T-3); Detroit's (T-4); Ohio's allotment (T-5) — discipline: a state-and-county check on every hit, and quarantine at first contact. Chapman's range ambiguity, conflict C9 (T-6): a section citation without its range is incomplete. The commercial neighbourhood polygon that masquerades as the town in profile sites (T-7): the town's boundary is the Census place polygon and nothing else. The AI-generated transcription (T-8): signpost only, never a quotation, a negative, or a soil sentence. The two rivers at Fort Wayne (T-9): river citations carry their drainage — Maumee or Lake Michigan — or they do not print. The Eaton and Clay Township name collisions in search (T-10), disarmed by a county locator on every hit; and St. Joseph County, Michigan (T-11), disarmed by printing the state in full in every citation. Bracketed atlas dates (T-12): brackets print as brackets. The Kappler OCR layer (T-13): quote the instrument, flag the garble class once, collate against the Statutes printing, name the collation. And Tribune photographs versus Tribune text (T-14): a photo archive proves pictures exist; it settles no coverage question.
