Notes

STAGED 2026-10-16 (747 Program, Wave 7, Batch B) — not merged. Gate A: no match in the live graph (3,443 entities) at staging (a 'Denzel Curry' Shorts-catalog hit is a different person and is not conflated). Vital status: LIVING and active — 2026–27 preseason participation and June 2026 coverage; no tribute language. Edges staged: played_for → Golden State Warriors (CTL-E-5705). BLOCKED: Davidson College has no graph entity, so no has_alumnus edge can be staged (the type also runs School→Person); Davidson facts are carried in prose. Photo CLEARED-WITH-CONDITION on mirrored license evidence; live Commons file page returned HTTP 403 in this pass and a countersign is owed at merge. MEDIA LAYER (staged 2026-10-16; full per-asset PHOTO-001 records + embed specs in the packet's staged JSON, Drive packet folder): map = N/A (Teams, companies, labels and persons carry no map slot under the media-layer rule; maps attach to places and i) | visual_assets = CLEARED-WITH-CONDITION: Stephen Curry shooting (Golden State Warriors, March 2, 2011) | chart = FILLED (Built only from this record's own sourced facts.) | video = HELD (No entry in the Shorts Link Map catalog (shorts-link-map-2026-10-15.json, 233 rows, searched 2026-10-16) bills) | audio = HELD (No CTL-owned or rights-cleared matching-entity audio exists at staging.)
