…chor-link / stable-ID conversion (Aaron 2026-05-01; reserved ID never filed; surfaced 2026-05-03) Aaron 2026-05-01 named "B-0141, not yet filed" in the parallelism- scaling-ladder memo's mechanized-guardrail table. ID was reserved; per-row file was never filed. Aaron 2026-05-03 reminder during B-0176 casing review surfaced the missing row: "B-0176 lowercase- title vs B-0170 there is a baclog item for md links that survive rename where possible". This is empirical evidence FOR B-0177's hypothesis (memos contain backlog candidates that should have been filed as B-NNNN rows): the parallelism-scaling-ladder memo named the B-0141 ID, the row never materialized, two days later it's still missing — caught only because Aaron remembered. The row scope: auto-rewriter that converts brittle section-number pointers (§N, §N.M) to less-brittle forms (anchor-links via heading- text slug, OR stable B-NNNN/BP-NN IDs where applicable). Composes with B-0170 (substrate-claim-checker), B-0175 (retrieval-index), B-0177 (audit pass — this row IS the audit's first concrete hit). Brittleness ranking: B-NNNN/BP-NN IDs > anchor-links > section- numbers > direct paths. Stable forms survive renumbering AND/OR rename; brittle forms break under one or both.

Summary
Files `B-0141` — the row Aaron 2026-05-03 referenced in the B-0176 casing-fix discussion. The ID was reserved by Aaron 2026-05-01 in the parallelism-scaling-ladder memo's mechanized-guardrail table:
Two days later (2026-05-03) the per-row file still didn't exist. Aaron caught it during the B-0176 casing review:
Empirical validation of B-0177
This row's existence IS the first concrete hit for B-0177's audit hypothesis: "a lot of backlog lost in our memories." The parallelism-scaling-ladder memo named the B-0141 ID; the row never materialized; nobody noticed until Aaron remembered + flagged.
Row scope
Auto-rewriter that converts brittle pointers to less-brittle forms:
Detection regex → markdown-AST resolution → rewrite to stable form → bidirectional check.
