It still announced itself as end-of-session-4 and had never heard of
XCharter, which matters because CLAUDE.md tells the next session to read
it first. Records the font switch, the small-caps removal, the link
styling, the nine diacritic corrections, and the next four items in the
order I would take them.

Eight diacritic corrections at seven sites, each verified against the page
image at 900 dpi:
p0049 Nastaʿlīq -> Nasta`līq the mark is a quote, not a ʿayn (Sammay)
p0072 Cálidás -> Cálidās
p0256 Rajākṛṣṇa -> Rājākṛṣṇa
p0260 Īsvaracandra -> Īśvaracandra (x2)
p0430 Iśvaracandra -> Īśvaracandra
p0430 Gītā -> Gīta (x2)
p0430 Munṣī -> Munśī
Found by two nets over the transcription: a rare-character inventory
(U+02BF appeared exactly once in 431 pages — the tell) and a check for
names that appear with more than one accenting, 84 occurrences of which
~32 are now checked. Neither net catches a name mis-transcribed the SAME
way everywhere, so this is a partial sweep, not a clean bill.
The French accents are all handwritten additions in the scan — pen-drawn
cedillas and acutes — applied inconsistently by the author and reproduced
per instance. All of that cluster checks out.
Clickable regions now carry a 0.4pt hairline rule in RGB(95,125,165) on
the Contents/List-of-Plates page numbers and on resolved cross-references;
endnote superscripts and whole-line entries stay unmarked. polish.py emits
\xref for the former and \hyperlink for the latter so the two differ.
Also: plate 1's List-of-Plates entry uses \plx, which build_maps() did not
scan, so plate 1 was the one plate of 178 whose "pl. 1" references never
linked.
build.sh takes an atomic mkdir lock: two builds sharing work/ corrupt
main.aux and produce an error that names the wrong file entirely.

A searchable, re-typeset edition of Fiona Ross, "The Evolution of the
Printed Bengali Character from 1778 to 1978" (Ph.D., SOAS, 1988),
transcribed from the 431-leaf ProQuest scan. All 431 pages done; 178
plates and 410 inline type specimens cut from the scan; 51 errata.
Tracked: the transcription (src/pages), the preamble and its typographic
decisions, the cut images (plates/ — not reliably regenerable, the crop
specs for the inline cuts were never scripted), tools, and the four
working documents.
Not tracked: the built PDF, which `make` remakes from src/ and plates/;
the ProQuest scan under source/, which is third-party and needed only by
`make prep` and `make plate`; scans/ and work/, both regenerable.
