    Why M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 005)
    Reasoning Passage 530671: the colonel wrote 'Disapproved'; nine days later he signed, and nine days after that Neville was out. The approval is dated 1943-03-15 (8415, 15397), so the refusal falls a few weeks before; the same passage gives his age as thirty-eight plus (after 1943-02-19). The colonel is named in node 2219.

    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [530663] belong to telling lecture nids [1117]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1963 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1963 is the MIN across telling lectures.

    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1963 to before 1963-12-12.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1117 (certain delivery 1963-12-12); 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 1963-12-12 on nid 1117 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
