Research notes

[5 Aug 2026 inbox, re-pulled per LEAD-0095] Verso of the Rhemhoogte Portion 2 (Lot A) diagram: the deduction table, one line - survey record E.771/1937, diagram 4241/1937, KAREEMOERHOEK (the name is struck through on the sheet), 1654,0080 morgen, deed 13528/1937. THIS RESOLVES AN OPEN QUESTION: Portion 2 was the largest unexplained gap between a historic extent and a modern polygon in this model - about 2,108 morgen recorded against a 381 ha outline, 4.7 times over. Deducting Kareemoerhoek's 1,654 morgen leaves 454 morgen, about 389 ha, which is the polygon to within 2%. The ground did not go missing; it became Portion 4. See LEAD-0093. WITHHELD: 1937.

[5 Aug 2026] MERGED DOC-0207 INTO THIS ROW - one sheet, two rows. Byte-identical files (MD5). DOC-0207 was a 3 Aug orphan-scan stub that inherited its front's 1884 and PUBLISHED the sheet; DOC-0243 read the 1937 deduction and withheld it. Same image, two gate answers. DOC-0207 is retired and its id will never be reused. Moved across: survey_edtf=1883-07; image_edtf=1883. DISAGREEMENTS between the two rows, recorded rather than resolved: source_file: kept 'sources/diagrams/DOC-0243-rhemhoogte-125-ptn2-verso.jpg', DOC-0207 said 'sources/diagrams/DOC-0174-rhemhoogte-125-ptn2-lotA-1883-verso.jpg'; sg_diagram_no: kept '1883 Rhemhoogte Ptn 2 (verso)', DOC-0207 said '1350/1883 (verso)'; title_edtf: kept '1937', DOC-0207 said '1884-01-25'; source_id: kept 'SRC-285', DOC-0207 said 'SRC-241'. DOC-0207's own note read: Deduction table. Sheet of DOC-0174; dates are that sheet set’s. Row created 3 Aug 2026 after the new orphan-scan check found the file on disk with nothing pointing at it.

[5 Aug 2026] sg_diagram_no rewritten from '1883 Rhemhoogte Ptn 2 (verso)' to '1350/1883 (verso)'. 8 makes the string load-bearing, not descriptive: it must be the FRONT'S string plus ' (verso)', because _doc_year() prefix-matches on that stem to find the front. A descriptive string matches no front, so the sheet falls back to its own dates or to nothing. The front here is DOC-0174.
