Two retrieval facts shape the proposal: (i) the DOI 10.1093/mnras/sts418 the report gave for Bielewicz et al. resolved to an unrelated paper (Smith et al., a ring nebula around the supergiant SBW1), so the Bielewicz source is anchored to arXiv:1207.6905 only and the DOI candidate is dispositioned `failed`; (ii) arXiv:1510.06537 is confirmed by title and authorship as the preprint of SRC-AN-MEISSNER-NUROWSKI-2017, so a `url` correction is proposed (the record's `keys` list cannot be edited by a scalar correction; the verb should add the arXiv key). The report's requests to extend `claimIds` on CCC-E008 and CCC-E010 are list edits and are instead realised as new evidence records on the same sources. Three new independent lines enter the record: DeAbreu's examination of the sky-twist test and the radius cutoff (bearing on CCC-C503), Bielewicz's low-ℓ account of the large-radius low-variance rings and their clustering (a competing account linked to CCC-C003/CCC-C009, never merged), and the erebon reply chain (Creswell premise → Nielsen reanalysis → Allen calculation), which bears on CCC-C505 and qualifies CCC-C007 without touching erebons as dark matter. Ulhoa et al. 2026 is admitted as weak context on CCC-C505 with its limitations stated rather than dropped. An edition is proposed because the current article states two things the retrieved texts show to be too strong: that no independent group has examined the sky-twist test, and that no one has done anything about the erebon–LIGO conjecture. Featured claims and crux order are unchanged; no assessment change is proposed.

    Ledger hash redefined to exclude source locators (url, archivedUrl); 1 edition/assessment basis stamp(s) recomputed mechanically, content unchanged: edition-2026-09-08-migration.yaml.

    Why: Founder decision 2026-09-09: a locator says where a record is read, not what it says; a by-hand URL addition had set a fresh panel aside and made an edition due that could only re-adopt.

    Case title punctuation restored after the pre-overhaul publication restore: "The Aeon Before Ours?" is again "The Aeon Before Ours". The trailing question mark is dropped so the published name is a statement. Subtitle and framing questions are unchanged.

    Why: Founder direction (first given 2026-09-06, reaffirmed 2026-09-08 after the restore): case names should not carry question marks. The interrogative belongs in the subtitle and the research questions, not on the card and in the header.

    Migrated to editions (docs/AUTOMATION.md, build step 2). The article, the 11-claim featured set, and the displayed judgment now live in edition edition-2026-09-08-migration, which adopts the migration assessment 2026-09-08-migration-ccc. Claim records carry propositions and anchors only; evaluative fields moved into the adopted assessment's per-claim treatment; the dossier header, research priority, and component verdicts moved from case.yaml into the assessment; claims-catalog.yaml merged into claims.yaml (tiers ended). No judgment changed.

    Why: One reader-facing unit that binds verdict, selection, and article, so they cannot drift apart; one home for judgment; featuring becomes a recorded decision.

    Study CCC-S001 collection published: thirteen rows spanning the 2010-2025 signature literature, both sides under identical rules, every cell verified natively against the primary document or anchored to a ledger source from the 2026-08-22 verification batch. Evidence CCC-E023 enters the ledger (supports CCC-C011): the signal-model-provenance column is unanimous — every search invented its own signal model, and the one CCC-derived fragment is the 2025 unrefereed preprint. Workpaper source SRC-CCC-S001 added. The OpenAI searcher's brief was discarded in full as fabricated (invented arXiv identifiers and verbatim quotes) and is documented in the study's limitations.

    Why: CCC-R005 asked what the framework commits to quantitatively; CCC-C011 asserted that every search invented its own signal. The frozen table shows both at once, from the papers' own methods sections, and hands the preregistered-search proposal (CCC-R001) its precise starting point.

    Study CCC-S001 pre-registered (freeze only, zero rows): the quantitative record of CCC signature claims and searches, criteria hash 906a0e73ef3c. One row per paper, proponent and critique alike, with the decisive column frozen in advance — signal-model provenance: for each search, whether CCC or the searchers supplied the expected signal. Refereed papers and flagged preprints never silently mixed. Collection follows in a separate PR.

    Why: CCC-C011 asserts that every signature search invented its own signal model; CCC-R005 asks for the quantitative predictions a preregistered search could bind to. Both need the literature's numbers in one table with the provenance of each signal model recorded from the papers' own methods sections — assembled under frozen criteria so the table cannot be tuned to flatter either the circles claim or its critics.

    Updated the overview's closing discussion of CCC's qualitative-predictions deficit to note that the 2025 Meissner–Penrose preprint proposes a mass–temperature relation for the Hawking spots — a first quantitative fragment, unreviewed and unverified outside the program, with abundance and profile predictions still missing. Made the matching correction to research item CCC-R005, which had described the quantitative signal model as entirely nonexistent.

    Why: Evidence record CCC-E022 (Meissner & Penrose 2025) partially overtakes both the article's statement that CCC's predictions are purely qualitative and CCC-R005's premise that no piece of the quantitative signature model exists.

    Fifth independent judge added to the cross-model check: Kimi K3 (Moonshot's open-weights model, served via Venice) re-assessed the case blind under the same protocol as the four frontier judges. Its case verdict and per-claim verdicts appear on the concurrence panel and claim pages alongside the others; concurrence statistics recomputed over five judges.

    Why: An open-weights judge from a different training lineage strengthens the independence of the check — agreement across five vendors, including one outside the Western frontier labs, is harder to attribute to shared disposition.

    Cross-model check run (scripts/cross-model-check.mjs, promptVersion aletheia-check-v1): four independent judges — Opus 5 (Anthropic), GPT-5.1 (OpenAI), Gemini 3.1 Pro (Google), Grok 4.6 (xAI) — each re-assessed the case blind to all prior assessments. Result: unanimous case verdict (contradicted) matching the displayed draft — the strongest corroboration of a negative verdict on the site; claim agreement 7/11 exact, 4 within one step, 0 split. Check runs never display as the case narrative; the concurrence panel summarizes them and claim pages carry each model's per-claim verdicts.

    Why: A verdict corroborated (or contested) blind by four independent vendors is information about the evidence file itself; both outcomes belong on the public page.

    Intake from researcher correspondence (runId ccc-intake-2026-08-23, preserved verbatim in inbox/processed/): Meissner & Penrose 2025 (arXiv:2503.24263), the program's most recent substantive defense, added as SRC-MEISSNER-PENROSE-2025 with evidence record CCC-E022 attached to CCC-C005, CCC-C009, and CCC-C011. Recorded as "qualifies": real theoretical progress on crossover physics and the first piece of the quantitative signal model CCC-R005 demands (a mass–temperature relation for Hawking spots), while leaving the statistical critiques that contradicted the 2020 detection unanswered and resolving the factor-of-two angular-diameter discrepancy with a post-hoc epoch. No claim credibility, component verdict, or case verdict changed: the case already turns on the null-ensemble dispute, which this paper does not engage. The correspondent's independent conclusion — that a preregistered adversarial reanalysis is the decisive step, and that the new mass–temperature relation is what could make it binding — matches CCC-R001/R005 as published.

    Why: Negative-evidence and fairness rules: the proponents' newest and best response must be in the ledger even when it does not move a verdict — and its genuine contribution (quantitative machinery for a future binding test) deserves recording as prominently as its gaps.

    Site v1.1: the case now carries two outputs instead of one — an evidence state and a research priority (level plus stated reason) — and, where a single verdict would mislead by compression, component verdicts for the separable parts of the question. Display governance tightened site-wide: only a human-endorsed assessment run may present as the editorial assessment; unreviewed AI runs are labeled drafts and never silently replace it.

    Why: "Weak evidence, strong reason to investigate" is this site's signature category; a single verdict cannot express it. Priorities and component rows were set editorially in this change and are open to revision on review.

    Literature watch configured (watch.yaml): six discovery-only queries covering the CCC theory literature, both disputed CMB signatures (Hawking points; concentric low-variance circles), the erebon dark-matter prediction, output from the principal proponents, and the primordial B-mode discriminator — the critical/statistical side watched with the same machinery as the proponent side per the fairness rules.

    Why: The case's verdict is hostage to a small set of live threads (any preregistered reanalysis, new signature searches, B-mode results, erebon constraints); the weekly watch surfaces movement without letting anything into sources.yaml unreviewed.

    Case published: 11 featured claims across the three rungs plus 5 catalog claims, 21 evidence records (9 supports, 8 undermines, 2 qualifies, 2 context by direction against their listed claims), 24 sources (all ai_verified with per-source verification notes; none unverified, none fabricated), 5 research opportunities, and a first AI assessment overlay labeled as an unreviewed draft. All claims labeled ai_extracted pending human review. Structural note: the observation rung deliberately splits "the features exist" (CCC-C001, confirmed by critics) from "the features are anomalous" (CCC-C002/C004, contested), so the independent reanalyses support the former while undermining the latter — keeping the null-ensemble dispute (CCC-C003) and the preregistration crux (CCC-C011) visible instead of averaged away.

    Why: Launch the case with the statistical-methodology dispute — not the cosmology — carrying the epistemic weight, since that is where the evidence actually disagrees.
