CLAUDE.md requires re-auditing the cross-reference rule after any change
to it, and polish.py changed twice this session. tools/linkaudit.py does
it: three classes checked mechanically, the fourth printed to be read.
dangling targets 0
plate page mismatch (listed vs set) 0 (all 178)
chapter page mismatch 0
`p. N` self-references 25 all read, all sound
The finding: an elided range end is not a plate number of its own.
plate_sub ran re.sub(r"\d+") over the whole range, so "pls. 146-8" linked
its 8 to plate 8 (orig. p.35) and "pls. 142-5" linked its 5 to plate 5
(p.23). Three links, all pointing at the wrong plate — invisible to every
other check, since the targets exist and the text is correct. The end is
now expanded against the leading digits of the number it is elided
against: 146-8 -> plate 148 (p.334), 142-5 -> plate 145 (p.329), both
confirmed against the List of Plates and against where \plateop sets
them.
Worth noting what the audit also confirmed: in two footnotes the rule
discriminates a citation page from a self-reference in the same sentence
— "(London, 1962), p. 43; also see below, p. 63" links only the second.
NOT YET BUILT: the Docker daemon is down, so make verify has not run
against this change. polish.py was run on the host and the audit re-run
against its output, but the PDF does not yet carry the fix.
