    HTTP and Tooling Mascot Generation Residue Removed

    Maintenance ID: 0.1.00004.fnf-mech-004 Date: 2026-08-07 Scope: content/mascots (fourteen records)

    What changed

    Removed explicit Sora/image-generation machinery from the HTTP and tooling mascot cohort M-0040 through M-0060 (as listed):

    • M-0040 Pngbert Flatly — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
    • M-0041 Reboota Thrice — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
    • M-0042 Robots Dot Txt — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
    • M-0044 Spooler Gremlin — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
    • M-0045 Strutter Crashley — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
    • M-0046 Svgon The Line — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
    • M-0048 Twiggy Snipsnark — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
    • M-0049 Updatey Delaybot — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
    • M-0050 Yammy McParseface — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
    • M-0051 Zooki Lockjaw — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
    • M-0053 Tabby Fields — Sora preset section removed
    • M-0054 Hammy Navstack — Sora preset section removed
    • M-0057 Zhuzhing Ping — Sora prompt section removed
    • M-0060 Courier Rat — Sora preset section removed

    Each removal deleted the ## 🎨 Sora Prompts / ## Sora Prompts section (including Prompt 1 / Prompt 2 scene-style blocks), the ## 🧪 Sora Preset / ## Sora Preset section, and the associated preset_... token. The mascots' biographies, addenda, aphorisms, haiku logs, and limerick logs were preserved.

    Structural repair after removal

    • In M-0042 and M-0044, the --- directly below the preset token was part of the residue block's formatting; it was removed with it.
    • In M-0041, the extra blank lines left between the removed preset block and the Addendum heading were collapsed to the standard single blank line.

    What was deliberately left alone

    • No identity changes, graph repair, doctrine rewriting, prose modernization, or general mascot cleanup.
    • Technical vocabulary belonging to each mascot's failure signature was preserved: HTTP status behavior (M-0049), reboot/triple-restart behavior (M-0041), crawler and Robots Exclusion Protocol content (M-0042), SVG terminology (M-0046), print queue behavior (M-0044), YAML parsing (M-0050), templating/bracket policing (M-0048), lockfile/concurrency content (M-0051), spreadsheet/data structure content (M-0053), navigation/routing content (M-0054), markup-maximalism content (M-0057), and courier/recursion content (M-0060).
    • ## Image fields that reference a filename or token (e.g., M-0041, M-0046) were kept; they are canonical content, not generation machinery.
    • In M-0053, the ## Image section with the mouse/clipboard description was kept; it is a canonical depiction consistent with other Image sections in the corpus, not a Sora-labeled prompt.
    • In M-0057, the empty ## 🧼 Slogans heading (pre-existing) was left in place.
    • Sora sections in mascots outside the listed cohort were not touched; this pass is scope-limited by design.

    Verification performed

    • ./bin/validate_graph.sh passed (Filed graph, form IDs, HTML IDs, and publication checks).
    • Residue scan: no Sora, preset_, ## 🎨 Sora Prompts, or ## 🧪 Sora Preset strings remain in the target files.
    • Exact diff inspected: removals only, plus the M-0041 blank-line collapse.
    • Frontmatter keys in this record are within the established closed schema.

    Unresolved follow-up

    • The remaining Sora prompt/preset sections across the wider mascot corpus are out of scope for this pass and remain in place.
