Early Mascot Generation Residue Removed (A)

Maintenance ID: FNF-MECH-001 (docket identifier 0.1.00002.fnf-mech-001) Date: 2026-08-07 Scope: content/mascots (early mascot generation residue, batch A), changelog collection

What changed

Removed Sora prompt sections, Sora preset sections, and preset_... identifiers from ten early mascot records (M-0003 through M-0012).
Removed the duplicate second copies of three limericks in content/mascots/005.bricky-goldbricksworth.md (the paragraphs beginning "Bricky signed with his non-dominant hand", "The Tribunal was asked to declare", and "To verify, you'd need the proof"). The first copies were left untouched.
Removed empty headings, framing separators, and blank residue left behind by those removals.

What was deliberately left alone

Biographies, roles, slogans, aphorisms, haikus, limericks, relationships, and canonical failure signatures were not rewritten.
Canonical IDs, filenames, graph relationships, and lorelog relationships were not touched.
Historical references to Sora in Bricky Goldbricksworth's biography and ceremonial limerick were preserved as artifact history, not generation machinery.
No follow-up work was bundled into this pass.
