Neville's brother Bruce was a sleepwalker from birth who would come downstairs at night, unlock the larder, make himself bread and milk, walk around the obstacles his brothers deliberately placed in his way, and go back to bed with no memory of it; only their mother, whom none of them could distrust, could convince Bruce he had done it, and the episode later taught Neville a lesson about his own sleep through the ages.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [529794] belong to telling lecture nids [1089]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1963 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1963 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 15 March 1963
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1963 to before 1963-03-15.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1089 (certain delivery 1963-03-15); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1963`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1963-03-15 on nid 1089 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
