From 542a6a00e5416d9dfee8152f97955fb5de75d138 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Stainback Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 20:59:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] docs(shadow): keep Vera/Otto drift log on linted research path Address the unresolved review thread on PR #4528 by moving the authored shadow lesson log out of the date-prefixed docs/research carve-out used for verbatim courier absorbs. The new date-suffixed path remains under research but is covered by markdownlint. Also add the small blank-line fixes exposed by linting the file.
