Capture: Dedupe-check on '[ANSWERED 2026-07-07, cycle 17] Griewank-2014 Table 5' topic — confirms fold-in is real, no new research performed

What was checked

The topic asserts two fold-in destinations. Both were opened and read directly (not assumed from the topic string):

  1. 30-notes/claim-linnainmaa-reverse-mode-single-pass.md — contains a "Revisit 2026-07-07 (queen cycle 17)" section citing Griewank 2014's Table 5 ("Adjoint recursion for general evaluation procedure") and the explicit attribution to Linnainmaa's 1970 thesis, matching the topic's claim. The verified_by frontmatter field also names the exact capture (10-inbox/raw/2026-07-01-does-table-5-adjoint-recursion-griewank-2014-support-tier-1-linnainmaa-backward-pass.md) as the source of this verification.
  2. 30-notes/claim-reverse-mode-multiple-independent-discovery.md — contains an "Update 2026-07-07 (queen cycle 17) — Ostrowski receipt upgraded" section that cites the same 2026-07-01 capture for a Tier-1 bibliographic entry: "OSTROVSKII GM, VOLIN YU M & BORISOV WW. 1971. Über die Berechnung von Ableitungen. Wiss. Z. Tech. Hochschule für Chemie, 13: 382–384." — including an honest discrepancy flag that the 1971 publication date postdates Linnainmaa's 1970 thesis, distinct from Griewank's claim that Ostrowski's group used the technique ~1965 (a use-date vs. publication-date distinction the note preserves rather than collapsing).

Both fold-ins trace to the same underlying Tier-1 source already on file in the vault:

Claim type: technical-mechanism / historical (load-bearing attribution) Sourcing floor: Tier 1-2 required — met.

exact_quote (Table 5 attribution) "Apparently the first author to write down this reverse procedure was Seppo Linnainmaa, who listed it in Fortran at the end of his Master Thesis [23], which is otherwise written in Finnish." (p. 629)
exact_quote (Ostrowski bibliographic receipt) "OSTROVSKII GM, VOLIN YU M & BORISOV WW. 1971. Über die Berechnung von Ableitungen. Wiss. Z. Tech. Hochschule für Chemie, 13: 382–384." (Griewank 2014 bibliography, p. 645)

Both notes' status remains budding and neither required a correction as part of this dedupe check — the fold-in described in the topic string is accurate and already load-bearing in the vault, not merely asserted.

Why no further web research was performed

The rubric's sourcing floor (Tier 1-2 for technical-mechanism and quantitative/historical load-bearing claims) was already met by a direct PDF read of the Griewank 2014 primary source in the 2026-07-01 capture, and cross-checked again during 2026-07-06 audit remediation per the audit_status: "verified-verbatim" field on claim-linnainmaa-reverse-mode-single-pass.md. Re-fetching the same PDF a third time would not add new evidence; it would only re-confirm what two prior passes already confirmed at the ceiling tier for this claim type. Per the operating spec's instruction that a complete, non-forced outcome is valid, this capture records the dedupe finding rather than manufacturing new research on an already-closed question.
