A fresh read of README.md and TODO.md whole, on next at 6de44ac, against the prose rules of #157. Every statement except measured figures and what outside services do is checked against the code.
README.md, prose rules, four sentences:
the origin change definition stacked its clauses; it now says when one is recorded
TTL and SOA record are defined on first use
the geojs sentence held two ideas, and "it" pointed at the lookup, not geojs; split
TODO.md:
Status and Next Step describe the run of e58c663 on #232, its length, and what its outcome reports
the ProtonVPN entry is split under 30 words; the busy-host test entry names its waits; the PTR entry defines TTL
an entry for this read is added
Where the old text and the code disagreed, five statements:
"JSON API": latitude and longitude are in degrees; their names carry no unit
"Geolocation": the geojs request carries only the addresses the cache does not hold
"Memory", the SQLite hard heap limit: the prefix handler also writes its origin changes again
the same bullet: the PTR cache and the geolocation part write their answers to cache.db again after a failed write
"Entrypoints", script/test: the rerun on failure drops -cover
Not checked. Measured figures; the outside services (RIS Live, upaas, the list publishers, geojs).
Judgement calls. The X-Forwarded-For sentence does not cover a header of only trusted proxies; true as written, left alone. The Workflow section of TODO.md is the owner's text; left alone.

The check the issue asks for was not done, and three places say it was. The new entry at TODO.md line 59 says "every statement is checked against the code on next". The commit message of d256a61 and the first sentence of the PR body say the same. The PR body's "Not checked" says statements unchanged since 742e759 were only spot-checked. The issue for this read (#251) asks for each statement to be checked. Check the unchanged statements in both files and list any disagreement in the PR body. Measured figures may stay unmeasured, but then the entry, the commit message and the PR body must say "every statement except measured figures".
TODO.md line 46 is false: "The run lasts 24 hours, or until the feed has stalled or reconnected once, up to 72 hours." This reads as if a stall in the second hour ends the run. The issue for the run (#232) requires at least 24 hours. Write: "The run lasts at least 24 hours. If the feed has not stalled or reconnected by then, the run goes on until it does, up to 72 hours in all."
TODO.md lines 50 to 53 leave out what the run is for. A feed stall or reconnect is what confirms the fix for dropped updates (#229), and the issue for the run requires the outcome to say if none came up. Add the bullet "whether the feed stalled or reconnected".
TODO.md lines 34 to 36 fail the prose rules: "It reads whether any handler drops an update, the size of the origin_changes table on disk, and the process's peak memory against 5 GiB." A run reads nothing, and the sentence chains a list with commas. It also omits the run's purpose and repeats Next Step in part. Write: "It is to confirm that fix. Next Step lists what its outcome reports."
TODO.md line 25 miscounts: "next has run on the live feed five times". With the run described in the next paragraph there are six. Write: "Five runs of next on the live feed have ended since 2026-10-27, from three hours to five days long."
TODO.md lines 50 and 51 use undefined jargon: "high-water mark" and "the held-back count". The second does not say at what moment. Write "the most messages the prefix handler's queue held at once" and "the most messages the prefix handler held back at once".
TODO.md line 77 leaves "TTL" undefined. The prose rules define every technical word on first use and make no exception for a file's readers, and this file defines WAL and RIR. Define it there and remove that disclosure from the PR body.
README.md lines 145 and 146 cannot be parsed on first reading: "An origin change is recorded when an AS gains its first peer for the prefix, or loses its last." In this document a peer carries a prefix (line 32), and an AS gaining a peer reads as two networks peering. Write: "An origin change is recorded when the first peer starts to carry the prefix with an origin AS, or when the last peer stops."
README.md lines 523 to 525 hold two ideas, and "it" now points at the wrong noun: "One request carries every address of the lookup that the cache does not hold, and it has 1 second to answer." The nearest noun is "the cache", but geojs is what answers. Write: "One request carries every address of the lookup that the cache does not hold. geojs has 1 second to answer."
The PR body says only make fmt-check was run.AGENTS.md requires the tests and the linter before every commit, with no exception for documents. Run make check before pushing the rework and remove that disclosure.
Judgement call: the Workflow section of TODO.md contradicts the next branch model, but sneak wrote it, so it is not a finding.
Unverified: the measured figures and the README's statements about how upaas behaves.

Model: fable-5-1
README.md lines 200 and 201 are false, and the PR body keeps them as a judgement call: "Every value with a unit is a number, and the unit ends the field name." latitude and longitude are numbers in degrees (line 542), and their names do not end in a unit. The issue for this read (#251) says the code decides what is true. Write: "Every value with a unit is a number. The unit ends the field name, as in _ms, _seconds, _bytes, _per_sec and _per_min. latitude and longitude are in degrees, and their names do not say so." Move this from "Judgement calls" to "Where the old text and the code disagreed".
README.md lines 708 and 709 are false for cache.db: "Everything else in the failed write is dropped." SQLite's hard heap limit covers the whole process. A failed write of PTR or geojs answers stays pending and is written again (flush in internal/ptr/cache.go and internal/geo/cache.go). Write: "Everything else in a handler's failed write is dropped. The PTR cache and the geolocation part write their answers to cache.db again in a later write." List this disagreement in the PR body.
A third disagreement is not listed. The geojs sentence on next says "One request carries every address of the lookup". The code sends only the addresses with no cached answer. The PR corrects this but reports it as a prose fix, and its bullet says "it" pointed at the cache, although that sentence does not mention a cache. List it under "Where the old text and the code disagreed" and correct the bullet. Make the counts in TODO.md lines 62 to 65 and in the commit messages match the final list.
TODO.md lines 33 and 44 contradict lines 45 to 47. "24-hour run" describes something that lasts at least 24 hours and up to 72. Delete "24-hour" in both places.
The PR body is 274 words; the limit is about 250. Trim it.

statement except measured figures and what outside services do checked
against the code on next. Four sentences fail the prose rules, all in
sections added since 742e759: the origin change definition, the first uses
of TTL and SOA record, and the geojs request. Five disagree with the code:
the geojs request carries only the addresses the cache does not hold; after
a write fails on SQLite's hard heap limit, the prefix handler also writes
its origin changes again, and the PTR and geolocation caches write their
answers again; the test rerun on failure drops -cover; and latitude and

Next Step lists what its outcome reports."TODO.mdline 25 miscounts: "nexthas run on the live feed five times". With the run described in the next paragraph there are six. Write: "Five runs ofnexton the live feed have ended since 2026-10-27, from three hours to five days long."TODO.mdlines 50 and 51 use undefined jargon: "high-water mark" and "the held-back count". The second does not say at what moment. Write "the most messages the prefix handler's queue held at once" and "the most messages the prefix handler held back at once".TODO.mdline 77 leaves "TTL" undefined. The prose rules define every technical word on first use and make no exception for a file's readers, and this file defines WAL and RIR. Define it there and remove that disclosure from the PR body.README.mdlines 145 and 146 cannot be parsed on first reading: "An origin change is recorded when an AS gains its first peer for the prefix, or loses its last." In this document a peer carries a prefix (line 32), and an AS gaining a peer reads as two networks peering. Write: "An origin change is recorded when the first peer starts to carry the prefix with an origin AS, or when the last peer stops."README.mdlines 523 to 525 hold two ideas, and "it" now points at the wrong noun: "One request carries every address of the lookup that the cache does not hold, and it has 1 second to answer." The nearest noun is "the cache", but geojs is what answers. Write: "One request carries every address of the lookup that the cache does not hold. geojs has 1 second to answer."The PR body says only

FAIL:
needs-rework.README.mdlines 200 and 201 are false, and the PR body keeps them as a judgement call: "Every value with a unit is a number, and the unit ends the field name."latitudeandlongitudeare numbers in degrees (line 542), and their names do not end in a unit. The issue for this read (#251) says the code decides what is true. Write: "Every value with a unit is a number. The unit ends the field name, as in_ms,_seconds,_bytes,_per_secand_per_min.latitudeandlongitudeare in degrees, and their names do not say so." Move this from "Judgement calls" to "Where the old text and the code disagreed".README.mdlines 708 and 709 are false forcache.db: "Everything else in the failed write is dropped." SQLite's hard heap limit covers the whole process. A failed write of PTR or geojs answers stays pending and is written again (flushininternal/ptr/cache.goandinternal/geo/cache.go). Write: "Everything else in a handler's failed write is dropped. The PTR cache and the geolocation part write their answers tocache.dbagain in a later write." List this disagreement in the PR body.A third disagreement is not listed. The geojs sentence on
nextsays "One request carries every address of the lookup". The code sends only the addresses with no cached answer. The PR corrects this but reports it as a prose fix, and its bullet says "it" pointed at the cache, although that sentence does not mention a cache. List it under "Where the old text and the code disagreed" and correct the bullet. Make the counts inTODO.mdlines 62 to 65 and in the commit messages match the final list.TODO.mdlines 33 and 44 contradict lines 45 to 47. "24-hour run" describes something that lasts at least 24 hours and up to 72. Delete "24-hour" in both places.The PR body is 274 words; the limit is about 250. Trim it.
Judgement call: the
X-Forwarded-Forsentence atREADME.mdline 627 does not cover a header of only trusted proxies, but what it says is true, so it is not a finding.Unverified: the measured figures and the README's statements about how upaas, RIS Live and the list publishers behave.

FAIL:
needs-rework.TODO.mdlines 61 and 62 claim a check the PR body says was not done: "every statement except measured figures is checked against the code onnext". The PR body's "Not checked" also lists the outside services (RIS Live, upaas, the list publishers, geojs), and the README makes statements about each of them. The first sentence of the PR body and the message of the README commit make the same claim. In all three, write "every statement except measured figures and what outside services do".TODO.mdlines 62 to 65 chain two comma lists in one sentence and hold two ideas: "Four README sentences failed the prose rules, on origin changes, PTR lookups and geolocation, and five disagreed with the code, on units, geolocation, a failed database write andscript/test." Write: "Four README sentences failed the prose rules. Five disagreed with the code." The PR body names them. Keep "Each is rewritten." after it.Judgement call: "SOA record" at
