Themed Mascot Identities Concentrated (201-206)

Maintenance ID: FNF-ID-003 Date: 2026-08-07 Scope: content/mascots/201.quill-staticvox.md, content/mascots/202.ledger-shadeledger.md, content/mascots/203.cinder-forgememo.md, content/mascots/204.pump-razorbackfuel.md, content/mascots/205.texaco-tumbleweed.md, content/mascots/206.diesel-dkdriller.md


What changed

  • Removed mass-template scaffold across mascots 201–206, including CMS plugin genesis language ("emerged from a crashed radio CMS plugin", "deprecated roadside CMS plugin", etc.), over-the-top spectral location dressing, Sora furniture prompts/presets, and Addendum Comments checklist blocks.
  • Concentrated mascot identities around their core archival and procedural defects:
    • 201 (Quill Staticvox): Focused on signal archiving; preserved 17-hour looped distress signal and transmission misfiled as ambient noise.
    • 202 (Ledger Shadeledger): Preserved unresolved/unbalanced accounting behavior and intention-of-imbalance tracking.
    • 203 (Cinder Forgememo): Focused on transient ash-based record keeping where document preservation inherently causes media destruction.
    • 204 (Pump Razorbackfuel): Preserved procedural receipt classification and fuel pump records (misfiled diesel receipt as barbecue inventory). Flagged for deeper review as a mostly themed roadside mascot.
    • 205 (Texaco Tumbleweed): Preserved temporal confusion in artifact custody where historical fuel records are processed as active operational queue items.
    • 206 (Diesel DKDriller): Preserved receipt/archive physical damage, classification errors in fuel records, and destructive metadata extraction.

What was deliberately left alone

  • Poetry Boundary: All poetry sections (## Aphorisms, ## Haiku Log, ## Limerick Log) across all six files were preserved strictly without modification or rewriting.
  • Frontmatter & Identity: Existing entity IDs (M-0201 through M-0206), parent references (mascots), and closed frontmatter schema attributes were preserved.

Verification performed

  • Ran python3 scripts/filed_ids.py --root content --map metadata/id-map.jsonl --write to register CHG-0003 into id-map.jsonl.
  • Executed ./bin/validate_graph.sh to verify graph relationships, form IDs, markdown links, and Cantilever HTML compilation. Output passed with zero errors.
