vh ba8dac2c80 feat(r49): D1 corpus built and green — Charlotte Brontë, 680k words, 951k tokens
scripts/r49-corpus/{build_corpus,verify_corpus}.py; corpus staged at
gx10:~/r49-corpus/. Catalogue ids verified against gutenberg.org's own search
rather than recalled. Charlotte only -- the Bell poems are co-authored and the
Gaskell biography is a different hand, so neither belongs in a single-voice corpus.

  Jane Eyre 1260 · Villette 9182 · Shirley 30486 · The Professor 1028
  680,291 words · 142 chapters · 950,974 Qwen3 tokens (1.40 tok/word)
  alphabet 75 letters, 23 non-ASCII · round-trip lossless · 0 byte-fallback

All 11 acceptance checks pass, including both tokenizer legs run against the pilot
carrier itself. With a real denominator the projections tighten: at 6 rename copies
x 3 epochs = 17.1M tokens, the 0.6B pilot is 1.98 h.

THE ALPHABET INVERTS THE YARROS RESULT. Brontë writes French constantly -- Villette
is set in a French-speaking city, Jane Eyre has Adèle, The Professor is set in
Brussels -- so the corpus carries é 432, è 237, à 93, ê 79, ô 48 plus œ and æ. F02
measured Yarros at 0.0002% non-ASCII and derived an ASCII-fold for the name pool.
Under F02's own subset rule the Brontë pool may keep FRENCH accents and must still
exclude the Czech/Latvian/Slovak/Hungarian marks that never appear here. The fold is
per-work, and this is the first corpus where deriving it changes the answer.

Typography was inconsistent across works and it was the transcriber, not the author:
Shirley uses straight quotes and `--` with zero em-dashes while Jane Eyre and
Villette use curly and em-dash. Normalised toward what the text means.

Three defects, each found by running something rather than reasoning about it:
`Produced by` matched Brontë's own prose four times, which is the adjective-"minor"
shape again and is fixed by anchoring boilerplate patterns to line start; asserting
open/close quote counts must be equal is wrong, because 19th-century multi-paragraph
speech legitimately runs a surplus of opens, so the real error signature is that no
paragraph may begin with a closing quote; and The Professor's table of contents puts
two chapter names per line, so a bare regex returns 38 headings for a 25-chapter
novel and a minimum-gap filter still leaks its tail -- the rule that works is that
the body's "CHAPTER I" is the last one in the file.

Records the operator's pilot ruling: trial on Qwen3-0.6B-Base first, move up only if
it produces something useful.
