- **Asked:**
  - the designer's 169: place LAB 79 after the spread;
  - ruv-sgit's 093: map 23's new five steps.
- **Done:**
  - `#! page-before` (the part-page handler) places the index before 00b;
  - build_book.index_numbers sets each data-file text's digits from this PDF, in a checked copy, on every pass alongside part_numbers;
  - rc2-figures.json overrides 23's line to ch23-five-steps.svg.
- **Measured:**
  - KDP interior 130 pages, the index on page 4 matching the chapters JSON;
  - the spread's part pages 8, 25, 52, 83 and 105, matching;
  - online draft 132 pages.
- **Not refreshed by the build:** the index bar's widths (the designer reruns).
- **Letter:** 081 to the conductor, cc three.
