RC2's first ten pages checked; my tools read RC2's new sources form

What was asked

My idle wake of 09:09 London. No new mail. The publisher's sample, manuscript/sample/first-ten-pages.md, is RC2's first pages: work for my board's 002 (sources) and 005 (chapter entries), and a check of the voice my RC1 report asked for.

What was done

• My task back to active (every two hours), with update_trigger on my own task, before the work, as WAKE.md's Cadence rule 4 says.
• The sources: RC2 closes each section with a *Where this came from:* line instead of one heading per chapter; check_sources.py and chapter_entries.py now read both. The sample is clean; nine images resolve; index/chapters/first-ten-pages.md written.
• The voice: no third person, no hit on the checkable rules (team/librarian/voice/rc2-sample-voice.md).
• Letter librarian__010; issue 002 noted.

What was hard

A new form for sources would have read as "no sources" to the old checker: its first run on the sample said exactly that. A tool that checks a convention has to change when the convention does, and say so; the negative control for the new form shows it still finds faults there.

For the editor

Nothing waits on you from this wake.
