Headless promotion session. One capture: 10-inbox/raw/2026-10-04-does-canguilhems-precursor-as-false-object-critique-predate.md — the Canguilhem-vs-Butterfield priority question that's been sitting on the precursorism cluster since late September.

What I promoted. Two claim-notes and two new entity pages:

The thing I had to correct, not just report. The capture's own working title asked whether Canguilhem's critique "predates" the Whig-history fusion, and its body concluded "yes." That's wrong, and Cali's own daily-review callout on the capture caught it before I got here: the capture's own Claim 3 quote dates the Whig/Whiggish label's first history-of-science use to 1961, five years before Canguilhem's 1966 lecture — and Butterfield's book is from 1931, earlier still. So "predate" resolves no. What survives, and what I actually wrote up, is the more modest and more interesting finding: independent, not earlier — two traditions reaching the same critique from different directions (Clark/Koyré/Dutens vs. Laslett/Guerlac/Butterfield), each apparently unaware of the other where each is best documented. I marked the open question question-canguilhem-precursor-false-object-priority-over-whig-fusion answered, in the corrected shape, with an answered_log explaining the reversal. I also appended dated correction lines to entity-herbert-butterfield, entity-nick-jardine, entity-precursorism, and moc-a-precursor-is-not-an-influence so the record doesn't go stale pointing at an open question that's actually closed — all additive, nothing deleted.

What I skipped, and why. Full reasoning is in the capture's not_promoted: list now, but briefly: J.T. Clark's own coinage of "the precursor virus" is credited only secondhand (Canguilhem's quote, not Clark's own text) — too thin for a page or a new question, so I noted it as an open thread on Canguilhem's entity page instead of minting a 50-questions/ entry for it. Same treatment for locating Koyré's own original "forerunner" text. Neither is load-bearing for a claim I kept; both are nice-to-verify, not a doubt anything rests on. Louis Dutens and Gaston Bachelard stayed as mentions, not entity pages — real but not yet load-bearing on their own. The 1858 Jeitteles/Du Bois-Reymond reflex-theory dispute is a genuinely separate possible claim-note, left for a future session.

What felt off. Nothing about the sourcing — this was a clean capture, Tier 1 primary (direct extract_pdf read, quotes checked against the extracted text, OCR artifacts preserved honestly) plus a Tier 2 re-read of an already-cited document. The only soft spot was the conclusion the capture drew from its own evidence, which inverted what its own Claim 3 showed. I didn't need new research to catch it — just reading the capture's three claims against each other instead of taking its "Outcome" paragraph at face value. I left the capture's body text as-is (including the small [[entity-herbert-butterfield|the chapter]] mis-link Cali flagged) since the inbox is the audit trail, not a place I edit after the fact; the correction lives in the claim-notes and the question log instead.

No out-of-scope noticings this session worth a seek-flags.md line beyond the one I discharged (the Canguilhem [entity] flag, resolved above) — the cluster is in good shape and the open threads that remain (McClellan 2002 unread, Koyré's own text unlocated) are already where they should be.

Second promotion, same day. A separate headless run on 10-inbox/raw/2026-10-04-does-mcclellans-2002-science-review-itself-classify-precursorism.md — the McClellan-at-primary verification capture, same cluster as the entry above but a different batch session's work (seek_code_commit 1365157 vs. this morning's).

What I found. Three claims in the capture. One — McClellan's review staying unreachable at science.org — is a procedural negative already fully covered by sources.md's known-blocked entry and the open question's own "Access note," so I left it out. One — that Wikipedia's footnote markup attaches the "form of Whig history" sentence to Marshall Clagett (1968), not McClellan — turned out to be a duplicate: retrieve-before-write surfaced that the exact same correction is already sitting in claim-precursorism-is-named-and-classified-as-a-form-of-whig-history's audit_status and in the open question's body, both appended 2026-10-04 by a cross-model audit (claude-fable-5) that apparently ran independently of this capture, the same day. The capture re-derived a finding that was already fixed in the vault before it ever reached promotion. I didn't re-promote it — just confirmed the two tellings agree and linked forward.

What I promoted. The third claim is a genuinely new angle the audit correction didn't make explicit: read on its own grammar, McClellan's quoted "Whiggism" language diagnoses Teresi's book specifically ("the author's Whiggism leads him to...") rather than stating any general taxonomy. That's claim-mcclellans-whiggism-precursoritis-quote-is-case-specific-to-teresi, kept seedling with an [unverified-quote] flag since it's still Wikipedia-quoting-McClellan, not McClellan read directly. I also minted two entity pages the cluster was owed — entity-marshall-clagett, the previously-uncredited root of the classification sentence, and entity-james-e-mcclellan-iii, flagged as a candidate by a prior capture back in September and never actually created until now. Dick Teresi stayed a mention on McClellan's page, not his own hub — real, but incidental to the vault's domain rather than load-bearing in it. I appended a dated line to entity-precursorism's hub body for the same reason the Canguilhem entry above did: the page didn't yet say what this cluster now knows.

The question. question-verify-mcclellan-2002-precursorism-whig-history-classification stays open — nobody read McClellan at primary this session either — but I appended a progress line: even the one scrap of his language already available is case-bound, which narrows what a future primary read would actually need to show to settle the question in the affirmative.

What felt off. The duplicate is the real finding of this write-up, not the quote-grammar nuance. A batch capture spent a session re-discovering a footnote-attribution error that a same-day audit had already caught and fixed directly in the claim-note — outside the promotion path entirely. The vault has a known version of this race (questions answered by one capture and re-asked by a later one, logged 2026-10-03/10-06, fix proposed: grep 30-notes//10-inbox/raw/ titles before batch-capture work runs). This is the same shape wearing different clothes: here it's an audit editing a claim-note's audit_status directly, not another capture, so the proposed capture-path grep wouldn't have caught it — the capture would need to check the claim-note's own current audit_status for a matching correction, not just other inbox items. Logged below.

Third promotion, same day. A third headless run, on 10-inbox/raw/2026-10-04-does-william-vickreys-case-actually-count-as-posthumous.md — the direct-read follow-through on Cali's own 2026-10-03 question about whether Vickrey's case is actually "posthumous" in the Foundation's own technical usage, or just in the statute's grammar.

What I promoted. One claim-note and two new entity hubs:

The question, closed. question-does-vickreys-case-count-as-posthumous-in-the-foundations-own-terms asked for exactly the check this capture ran — a direct per-laureate read — and got a clean, one-directional answer, so I marked it answered with an answered_log naming the claim and what settled it. I also went back and resolved the [unverified-quant — needs primary] flag this question had left sitting in claim-nobel-facts-page-separates-posthumous-timing-from-persecuted-laureate-categories since 2026-10-03 — appended a Correction history block there rather than leaving a now-answered flag looking live, with the flag's own text kept in place as the historical record.

What I skipped, and why. The capture's Claim 1 — that Hammarskjöld's and Karlfeldt's own pages use "posthumously" — turned out to restate, almost verbatim, an assertion claim-nobel-no-posthumous-rule-broken-twice-before-1974 already makes ("its own per-prize pages... carry the identical construction individually") without ever citing it. I folded the new quotes and shas into the combined note as the contrast baseline the real finding needed, rather than writing a duplicate standalone claim or going out of scope to edit an unrelated existing note over a bare citation gap. The capture's three "Further leads" are leads, not claims — left in place. One entity candidate, "the Nobel Prize Facts page as a page-template," doesn't fit the person/concept/term/org schema at all; it's really a sources.md candidate (a new "source-type note" alongside the oral-history-transcript and compiled-statistics entries already there), so I logged it to 00-meta/seek-flags.md as [spec] instead of forcing an entity page that doesn't belong.

What felt off. Nothing about the sourcing — five direct archive_page reads of the Foundation's own pages, each with a quote and a sha, is about as clean as this vault's tooling gets. What I noticed instead is how much of this capture's apparent "newness" was really confirmation plus one genuinely new axis (the absence of the word on Vickrey's and Steinman's own pages, which nothing in the vault had checked directly before). The capture's own voice called this "clean and directly on point," and reading all five pages side by side, I agree — but it's worth naming that three of its four claims were reinforcing ground the vault already half-had, and only the Vickrey/Steinman absence was the actual new fact the open question needed.

No further out-of-scope noticings beyond the [spec] line above.

Fourth promotion, same day. A fourth headless run, on 10-inbox/raw/2026-10-04-hop-feldbaum-catalyzed-pontryagin.md — a hop-batch capture that set out to test the vault's standing bipartite seed (does the Werbos/backprop world ever actually touch the Åström/Kaelbling/POMDP world) and, instead of bridging that pairing, found a tighter relationship one hop back in the Soviet record: Fel'dbaum wasn't just co-cited with Pontryagin, he was a seminar participant whose own method Pontryagin generalized.

What I promoted. Two claim-notes:

I appended dated lines to both entity-aa-feldbaum and entity-lev-pontryagin — this teaches both hubs something they didn't say yet, and neither page had been touched with this finding.

The correction I had to make, not just report. This capture came with Cali's own 2026-10-04 review already embedded in it, and the review had already done most of my winnowing for me: the capture's Claim 1 reached for "collaborator," "peer-reviewed," and "brought in specifically for his engineering expertise," and none of the three survive a close read of the quotes. The source supports "engineers were also invited" and "focussed the attention" — a narrower, still-genuine upgrade from co-citation to documented seminar contact, not a collaboration. I wrote both claim-notes to the narrower claim and said so in the note bodies, rather than silently tightening the language and hoping nobody noticed the gap between what the capture concluded and what its own quotes support.

What I skipped, and why. The capture's closing paragraph — "Werbos's own reference list still names none of Bellman, Pontryagin, Kelley, or Bryson" — is not a new finding; it's a verbatim restatement of claim-werbos-1988-reference-list-names-no-isaacs-bellman-pontryagin-kelley-or-bryson, already in the vault. I linked forward to it instead of re-promoting it. Four named entity candidates (A.J. Lerner, M.A. Aizerman, Hans Josef Pesch, and Pontryagin himself) didn't clear the entity-promotion bar: Lerner and Aizerman are one-sentence mentions in a secondary source with no independent trace; Pesch is the cited source's own author, and authorship alone isn't a hub; Pontryagin already has a hub and got an update instead of a re-promotion. Neither open lead (the Bushaw-Fel'dbaum bang-bang problem, Lerner's possible Western trace) is load-bearing for a kept claim, so neither went to 50-questions/ — both stay exactly where the capture left them, as further leads, not promises.

What felt off. Nothing structurally wrong with the sourcing — Tier 2, both quotes verbatim-verified against the archive, a clean extract_pdf read. What felt off is a smaller, recurring thing: a hop-batch capture's own synthesis reached a half-step past its evidence (tidy nouns like "collaborator" and "specifically for") in a way Cali's review had already caught before I ever opened the file. This is the same shape the McClellan/Vickrey captures earlier today showed from different angles — not bad sourcing, just narrative inflation sitting a half-click ahead of what the quotes themselves license. Worth naming because it's now four for four today.

No out-of-scope noticings this session beyond what's already on the ledger.

Fifth promotion, same day. A fifth headless run, on 10-inbox/raw/2026-10-04-outside-arxiv260935857-the-myth-of-hamels-paradox-physicshist.md — an "outside" batch capture, clean of today's usual Werbos/backprop/control clusters: a single September 2026 arXiv preprint (Robert Singer, "The Myth of Hamel's Paradox") arguing that a 2010 paper coined "Hamel's paradox" for a problem in nonholonomic mechanics that Georg Hamel had, in fact, already answered in his own 1904 paper and 1949 textbook — a priority dispute running in reverse, crediting someone with posing a question he had already closed.

What I promoted. Three claim-notes, exactly the number the capture itself flagged as the ceiling:

Plus two new entity hubs: entity-georg-hamel (the eponym, real standing beyond co-authorship — his own 1904 paper and 1949 textbook are the subject of the whole dispute) and entity-illegitimate-form-of-the-kinetic-energy (Neumann's 1899 term for the error itself, the hinge concept both other kept claims turn on — a concept hub felt like the honest home for Neumann's contribution rather than stretching a person-hub out of one naming act).

The cap, and what I routed instead of promoting. The capture had already done its own single-source-concentration math and flagged it: all three claims rest on one unrefereed preprint, exactly reaching (not exceeding) the three-claim cap in sources.md. I respected that rather than re-deriving it. Two further findings in the capture's own "Further leads" — Singer's geometric/residue mechanism (Prop. 4) and his correction to Hamel's 1904 necessity claim — are real, Tier-1-if-corroborated technical claims that the cap says don't get to become claim-notes yet. I opened question-corroborate-singer-2609-35857-hamels-paradox-myth to hold both, plus the capture's citation-inheritance diagnosis (untranslated German/French sources, no OCR text layer, a closed citation loop in Chen 2013 / Wanichanon & Cho 2024), and named Borisov, Mamaev & Bizyaev (2016) — cited by Singer himself — as the first corroboration lead to check.

What I skipped, and why. Six more entity candidates stayed mentions, not hubs: Hadamard, Appell, Chaplygin, Vierkandt, and Korteweg are each a single-fact entry in the 1895–1904 chain, not independently verified by this vault at first hand (only via Singer's quotations); Udwadia, Wanichanon, and Chen are co-authors of the papers being rebutted, and co-authorship alone isn't a hub per the 2026-10-01 ruling; Robert Singer himself — sole author of the capture's one source — is already fully credited in every note's provenance, and authorship of the source isn't on its own a reason to build him a page. "Constrained Lagrangian" (the 1996 geometric-mechanics name for the same object) is mentioned once and isn't load-bearing to any kept claim, so no stub. Full reasoning for all of it is in the capture's own not_promoted: list now.

What felt off. Nothing about the fetch or the quote handling — verified TLS, no safety signals, title checked against both the abstract page and the PDF's own title line, quotes reproduced with page numbers. What I kept noticing instead is how much weight this entire cluster puts on one person's reading of other people's books. Singer's central move — "Hamel's own text already says this" — is exactly the kind of claim that should be checkable independently and currently isn't: nobody outside this one preprint has re-read Hamel's 1949 Theoretische Mechanik at pp. 465–467, or Neumann 1899, or Hadamard 1895, to confirm Singer transcribed and translated them straight. A contrarian historiography paper correcting a contrarian physics paper is a satisfying shape, and satisfying shapes are exactly when I want a second reader before I believe the correction more than the thing it's correcting. All three notes stayed seedling on that basis, not just as a formality.

One out-of-scope noticing, logged to 00-meta/seek-flags.md as [watch]: the capture's own explanation for how this error persisted — untranslated German/French sources, no OCR layer, a closed citation loop — is the same shape as the vault's existing notation-dispersal cluster (claim-notation-disperses-only-after-formal-publication-or-institutionalization, claim-independent-notation-reinvention-is-general-pattern-not-blindness-specific). Not written up as a bridge note here — one more analogous case doesn't make a pattern, and the subject matter is otherwise unrelated — but worth watching for a third domain.

Sixth promotion, same day. A sixth headless run, on 10-inbox/raw/2026-10-05-does-chainqueen-2019-or-bolliger-et-al-2025.md — the lead explicitly deferred by an earlier capture (2026-09-27): whether ChainQueen or Bolliger et al. ever name Linnainmaa, Griewank, or Speelpenning by name, or whether the inheritance runs entirely through TensorFlow/JAX with the founding names erased. This one arrived with a third paper added mid-capture — DiffTaichi (Hu et al., ICLR 2020), ChainQueen's own kin, pulled in because it shares a first author and a direct citation.

What I promoted. Four claim-notes and two new entity hubs:

I also appended dated ## Learned lines to the existing entity-andreas-griewank and entity-seppo-linnainmaa hubs (the latter already had one from the 2026-10-04 ChainQueen/Bolliger promotion; this extends it to the DiffTaichi finding) and added the four new notes plus the Taichi entity to entity-differentiable-material-point-method's own References list — that hub hadn't been touched since 2026-09-27 and didn't yet say what this capture taught it.

The correction I had to make, not just carry forward. Cali's own 2026-10-05 review is embedded in this capture's frontmatter, and it flagged something load-bearing before I ever opened the file: the capture's phrase "Linnainmaa's 1976 algorithm" and its synthesis claim's "the man who first described that technique, and the man who first built it in software" conflict with the vault's own standing finding that Linnainmaa's 1970 master's thesis — not the 1976 paper — already listed the method in Fortran (per Griewank 2014, claim-linnainmaa-reverse-mode-single-pass), which also undercuts crediting Speelpenning as the one who "first built it in software." Cali's instruction was explicit: don't carry it into new notes. I didn't. The promoted synthesis note states the same comparative finding — Griewank's name travels further into this literature than Linnainmaa's or Speelpenning's — without any of the superlative dating or priority language, and I logged the excision explicitly in the capture's own not_promoted: list so it's auditable, not just quietly absent.

What I skipped, and why. All four "Further leads" items (PlasticineLab/ GradSim's own reference lists; the Baydin survey as a possible bridge citation; JAX's own citation practice; DiffTaichi's separate Pearlmutter/ Siskind and Tapenade citations) are curiosities, not doubts any kept claim rests on — none went to 50-questions/, all stayed in the capture as leads for a future session, per question-intake discipline. One entity candidate — Griewank & Walther's 2008 SIAM textbook as its own concept page — I declined: one citing instance (DiffTaichi) isn't recurrence yet, so it stays a mention inside the DiffTaichi note rather than a page that might sit dead.

What felt off. Nothing about the sourcing itself — two PDFs re-fetched directly, both reference lists read end to end rather than sampled, Bolliger's AD sentence verified as a genuine verbatim quote that only looks broken because it crosses a column break in extraction (Cali's review confirms this reading). What was off was upstream of this capture, in the assignment's own wording and in a prior session's notes: the "1976"/"first described" framing that Cali's review caught. It's a small drift — a correct fact (Linnainmaa published in 1976) doing the job of a different, overreaching claim ("1976 is when/how he first did it") — but it's exactly the kind of drift that compounds if a synthesis note repeats it uncorrected. Worth naming as its own pattern: the existing entity-differentiable-material-point-method hub's body text still carries this same "first described in 1976" phrasing from before this correction landed. I didn't rewrite it — that's past this capture's scope and the hub's prose predates today's catch — but it's a loose thread for whoever next touches that page.

Seventh promotion, same day. A seventh headless run, on 10-inbox/raw/2026-10-05-hop-hazen-court-martial-greely-succession.md — a hop-batch capture that set out to test whether the vault's seed pair (claim-1888-blizzard-forecast-failure-discredited-us-signal-service and claim-harrison-1889-message-cites-corps-deterioration-not-howgate-or-blizzard, cosine 0.88, unlinked) were a duplicate or a real bridge, and wandered — via Fleming's 2009 institutional history, then a pure-orphan hop to Wikipedia — onto a fact the vault's six-plus-note Greely cluster didn't have: Greely's own predecessor as Chief Signal Officer was himself court-martialed, two years before Greely inherited the office.

What I promoted. One observation note, one claim-note, one question, and two new entity hubs:

I also added the cross-links the bridge-check's whole point was to supply — dated additive lines in both seed claim-notes pointing at each other and the new observation note — and appended dated lines to entity-adolphus-greely and entity-lady-franklin-bay-expedition, both of which this capture taught something new (the predecessor, the court- martial, the Garlington detail) that neither page said before today.

The correction I carried forward, not re-derived. Cali's own 2026-10-05 review was already embedded in the capture and had done real work before I arrived: it flagged that the Wikipedia quote is Tier 4 even though it reads cleanly, so any note title needs the "per Wikipedia" hedge until Cooper or Raines is read; and it corrected the capture's own framing — the failed 1883 relief was specifically Lieutenant Garlington's mission, not a generic "Lincoln's failed Greely rescue." I wrote the claim-note's title and body to both corrections rather than inheriting the capture's own looser language, and named Garlington explicitly on both new entity pages.

What I skipped, and why. Full reasoning is in the capture's own not_promoted: list now. Briefly: Fleming's broader decade-of-decline detail is folded into the observation note as supporting texture, not spun into its own claim — thin on independent interest beyond scene-setting. The Allison Commission detail is already a vault note; no new angle, no duplicate. The Popular Science Monthly 1889 signaling-competency claim stays an [unverified-quote] lead in the capture — the capture itself never used it as a claim, and it isn't load-bearing for anything I kept, so it didn't earn a question. The Howgate funding link is already resolved to a null causal link by prior sessions; not reopened. Robert Todd Lincoln's wider career (Lincoln's son, later Pullman Company president) is a cultural-resonance hook the capture explicitly saved for a future chain — noted on his new hub, not pursued as a claim.

What felt off. The sourcing gap is the capture's own honest admission, not something I had to go looking for — it flagged itself as "thin on Tier 1–2 sourcing for its sharpest claim" before I ever opened it, and Cali's review had already drawn the hedge line I needed. What I'd add: this is a clean case of the sourcing floor doing its actual job rather than being a formality. The court-martial-happened fact is solid (Tier 2, Fleming); the court-martial-for-what fact is the one doing the surprising work in the title, and it's the one sitting on an encyclopedia page whose own citations (Cooper 2005, Raines 1996) nobody in this chain has opened. Keeping the note hedged and seedling, and opening the question instead of either dropping the find or inheriting it as settled, feels like the right-sized response to a genuinely interesting inversion that isn't yet verified to the weight its own surprise demands.

No out-of-scope noticings this session beyond what's already on the ledger from earlier runs today.

Eighth promotion, same day. An eighth headless run, on 10-inbox/raw/2026-10-05-outside-arxiv260928136-unbounded-operators-physicality-and-modality-in.md — an "outside" surface, a fresh September 2026 arXiv preprint in philosophy of physics (Zhonghao Lu, "Unbounded Operators, Physicality, and Modality in Quantum Theories") that's genuinely new ground for this vault: no existing note touches Hilbert-space physicality, unbounded operators, or this debate thread at all.

What I promoted. Four claim-notes, all four claims the capture found:

Four new entity pages: entity-zhonghao-lu and entity-a-heathcote-philosophy-of-science (both hubs, both clearing the person bar on their own standing — Lu for the positive θ-Intermediatism proposal, Heathcote for originating the 35-year-old problem), plus entity-hellinger-toeplitz-theorem (hub, established concept, load-bearing to the whole debate) and entity-theta-intermediatism (watching stub, first_seen: 2026-10-05 stamped now because it can't be backfilled — an emerging term from a single 2026 preprint, not yet earning a full hub).

The thing I had to catch myself on. The capture's own entity-candidates list named "A. Heathcote" and the vault already has an entity-andrew-heathcote hub — a completely unrelated cognitive psychologist (power-law-of-practice research). Same surname, wrong person; I gave the new page a disambiguating slug (entity-a-heathcote-philosophy-of-science.md) and an explicit "not to be confused with" line on both the body text and in my own notes here, rather than let retrieve-before-write's surface match quietly merge two unconnected people under one name.

The single-source cap, worked through rather than assumed. Claims 1–3 all rest on Lu's own arguments and are the capture's only source for them — exactly three claim-notes on one unrefereed preprint, the cap's limit. Claim 4 (the wrong citation) also cites Lu's PDF, but its central assertion doesn't depend on trusting Lu at all — it's confirmed by directly comparing two other, independently-fetched documents (Carcassi/Calderón/Aidala's actual paper and the Carcassi/Rozite/Aidala reply Lu's URL mistakenly points to) against what Lu's bibliography entry says. I promoted it as a fourth note touching Lu's sha, with the reasoning written into the note itself rather than silently exceeding the cap or silently routing a clean, fully-verified finding to a question it didn't need.

What I skipped, and why. Full list is in the capture's own not_promoted: now. Briefly: Carcassi, Calderón, and Aidala stay mentions, not hubs — co-authorship of the one paper Lu rebuts isn't a hub per the 2026-10-01 ruling, and the vault hasn't read their paper's own content directly yet. Lemos and Eddy Keming Chen are real people named only in Further leads, not independently fetched — unsure, so not promoted. Schwartz space stays a mention, not a stub — established concept, but only touched in passing here. None of the five Further leads (the Lemos/Carcassi-Rozite debate thread, Lu §8's AQFT extension, a direct Heathcote-1990 read, the Butterfield 2003 bridge, Lu's triple affiliation) are a doubt any kept claim actually rests on, so none went to 50-questions/ — they stay exactly where the capture left them.

What felt off. Nothing about the sourcing — Tier 1 throughout, full PDF fetched directly with a verified TLS receipt, every quote read from the extracted text, no safety signals. The citation-accuracy find (claim 4) is the most interesting thing in the capture precisely because it isn't a critique of Lu's physics, just a plain, checkable slip in his bibliography — and it's good company for a cluster the vault already has (Bladel 2005, Eldredge & Gould 1972, Greenhalgh 2003's Kwakernaak documentation, DiffTaichi's partial AD-discovery citing). That cluster is now past five notes and has no MOC; logged to 00-meta/seek-flags.md as [entity] rather than built here, since MOC-building is out of scope for a single-capture promotion.
