Roadmap: log L9/L10 first fix-arc closure (commits 887136e..8ca2ed4)
Update sec.6 with: - Status header reflecting that the first fix arc has landed on tl/l9-l10-second-review-fixes (six commits) and that 28 of 39 issues are now closed. - New sec.6.4 listing each closed group with its fix commit and a one-line summary of what landed, plus three "memo errors" the verification work surfaced (E4 Lawrence 2013 mass range was correctly stated in the lecture; G3 Wordsworth schematic IS Fig 5 of his AREPS review; F2 Goldblatt 2013 has no arXiv). - New sec.6.5 documenting the 11 deferred items (Group A part 2: 7 figure re-extractions blocked on paywalled source PDFs from Nature/Nature Geoscience/Springer/Science, none of which have arXiv versions; Group G part 2: G1 Widemann, G2 Bibring need source PDFs, G6 NC/CC citation flagged for Tim per his pre-stated preference). - New sec.6.6 resumption protocol for the deferred items (Tim provides source PDFs or approves NASA mission-imagery alternatives; continue on the same feature branch; do not push without confirmation).

## 6. Open Issues — L9/L10 Second-Pass Review Pending Fixes

Date opened: **2026-04-11**. Source: two independent verification sub-agents run in parallel, one per lecture, with broad scope (figures, captions, citations, equations, derivations, internal consistency). Scope of this subsection is L9 (Earth & Venus) and L10 (Mercury & Mars) only. L11–L14 have not yet had a second independent pass. No fixes have been applied yet — this is a parked action list, to be picked up in a future session.

**Status update 2026-04-22:** First fix arc landed on feature branch `tl/l9-l10-second-review-fixes` (six commits). Tim's three decisions in §6.1 were: (1) Option C — show both Rayleigh regimes, (2) per-group commits, (3) Claude adjudicates G1–G5 with PDF fetches; ask only for the most critical figures. Group F (BibTeX), Group D (equations), Group E (factual updates), Group C (captions), Group A part 1 (Lebrun figure), and Group G part 1 (G3, G4, G5 verifications) are CLOSED. Group A part 2 (seven figures requiring paywalled source PDFs) and Group G part 2 (G1, G2, G6) are DEFERRED — see §6.5 below.

Both blackboard derivations (L9 Simpson-Nakajima, L10 Jeans escape) were re-verified algebraically and are clean. The one numerical error surfaced in L9 is **not** in the blackboard derivation but in a separate Rayleigh distillation calculation in the Venus D/H section (lines 743–748).

### 6.4 Resumption protocol
869+
### 6.4 First fix arc — closed (commits on `tl/l9-l10-second-review-fixes`)
870+
871+
| Group | Status | Commit | Items |
872+
|---|---|---|---|
873+
| F | closed | `887136e` | F1 add Lebrun2013 entry, F2 remove erroneous Goldblatt arXiv eprint, F3 KiteEpisodic2022 → 2021 rename, F4 NASAESAMSR2024 → 2023 rename + L10 text rephrase |
874+
| D | closed | `2edb177` | D1 Rayleigh distillation rewritten as Option C (both diffusion-limited and thermal-Jeans regimes shown explicitly), D2 L10 cooling-rate phrased as timescale |
875+
| E | closed | `0099c3f` | E1 warming 1.2 K → 1.4 K, E2 carbonate inventory scope clarified + bar value corrected, E3 Olympus Mons height phrasing, E4 NO EDIT (memo error: Lawrence+2013 abstract verifies the existing 10^16-10^18 g range) |
876+
| C | closed | `2e9a273` | All 11 caption rewrites (5 in L9: Honing, Zahnle, Way, Arney, Smrekar; 6 in L10: Plesa, Ehlmann, Wordsworth, Jakosky, Hu, Acuna) |
877+
| A part 1 | closed | `79acabf` | A6 Lebrun2013 Fig. 12 replaces Nikolaou2019 magma-ocean evolution figure (incl. label rename and old-AVIF removal) |
878+
| G part 1 | closed | `8ca2ed4` | G3 Wordsworth schematic verified as Fig. 5 of AREPS review, G4 Wicht offset-dipole polarity flipped (south not north), G5 Margot moment-of-inertia caption clarified (0.380 was the 2007 input value, 0.346 the modern value) |
879+
880+
**Memo errors discovered during the fix arc** (worth noting before any third pass):
881+
882+
- E4 Lawrence+2013: memo claimed the paper gives 10^15–10^16 g for Mercury polar ice; ADS abstract verification shows it actually gives 2×10^16 to 10^18 g, matching the lecture text exactly.
883+
- G3 Wordsworth schematic: memo flagged it as possibly a third-party hand-drawn cartoon; verification against the local AREPS PDF shows it IS Figure 5 of Wordsworth+2016, drawn in Wordsworth's own informal style for the review.
884+
- F2 Goldblatt2013 arXiv: confirmed via ADS that the paper has no arXiv version at all (memo's flag was correct: the spurious eprint 1301.6674 belongs to Kopparapu+2013).
885+
886+
### 6.5 Deferred items — Group A part 2 and Group G part 2
887+
888+
These were not closed in the first fix arc because they require either source-paper access that was not available in the working session, or a substantive judgement call that Tim wants to make himself. None block course delivery; all are corrections to figure provenance or attribution.
889+
890+
**Group A part 2 (seven figure re-extractions, blocked on paywalled source PDFs)**:
891+
892+
| ID | Lecture fig | Source paper | Why blocked |
893+
|---|---|---|---|
894+
| A1 | L9 #6 Lyons+2014 oxygen history | Nature 506, 307 | No arXiv (verified via ADS); paywalled Nature |
895+
| A2 | L9 #8 Smrekar+2018 Earth/Venus topography | Space Sci Rev 214:88 | No arXiv (verified via ADS); paywalled Springer |
896+
| A3 | L9 #11 Goldblatt+2013 OLR-vs-T (replaces misattributed Kopparapu) | Nature Geoscience 6, 661 | No arXiv at all (Goldblatt+2013 lacks one); paywalled Nature |
897+
| A4 | L9 #16 Hamano+2013 two-types | Nature 497, 607 | No arXiv (verified via ADS); paywalled Nature |
898+
| A5 | L9 #17 Hamano+2013 typeI evolution | Nature 497, 607 | Same as A4 |
899+
| A7 | L10 #8 MESSENGER MLA polar | Zuber+2012, Science 336, 217 | No arXiv (verified via ADS); paywalled Science. NASA mission imagery may be a workable alternative (PIA catalog) |
900+
| A8 | L9 #12 Goldblatt+2013 OLR spectrum re-extract (folded from Group B) | Nature Geoscience 6, 661 | Same as A3; the existing AVIF has the x-axis numerical labels and "wavenumber" axis title clipped off entirely, so a tight re-crop alone cannot fix it |
901+
902+
**Group G part 2 (three caption verifications)**:
903+
904+
- G1 Widemann+2023 three-missions render — caption claims background is "Akatsuki UV imaging"; needs Widemann+2023 source PDF to verify.
905+
- G2 Bibring+2006 phyllosilicate map — caption claims a specific panel identity and crop; needs Bibring+2006 Science 312 PDF to verify.
906+
- G6 L9 line 929 NC/CC noble-gas dichotomy citation `Zahnle2007` — Tim requested this be flagged for him to adjudicate manually rather than Claude choosing between Marty+2012 / Bekaert+2020 alternatives.

### 6.6 Resumption protocol for the deferred items
868909

869-
When picking this up in a new session:
870-
1. Read this section §6 in full.
871-
2. Answer the three decisions in §6.1 (Rayleigh α regime, batch scope, group-G handling).
872-
3. Create feature branch `tl/l9-l10-second-review-fixes`.
873-
4. Work through Groups A → F (G is blocked on decision 3; H is explicitly out of scope).
874-
5. For each group, run `make html` to verify Jupyter Book builds cleanly, and re-run `/tmp/check_figures.py` + `/tmp/check_citations.py` after edits if those scripts still exist, otherwise reconstruct from the pattern in `notes_status.md` memory.
875-
6. Commit per batch scope decided in §6.1 (2). Do not push without explicit confirmation per CLAUDE.md.
876-
7. After fixes land, update this §6 status to "closed" with a pointer to the fix commits, and fold the key lessons into `notes_status.md` memory.
910+
When this picks back up:
911+
1. Read §6.4 first to confirm what is already closed; do not re-do those fixes.
912+
2. For Group A part 2 and Group G part 2: Tim provides the source PDFs (institutional library access), or confirms which figures should be replaced with NASA mission imagery / public-domain alternatives.
913+
3. Continue work on the same `tl/l9-l10-second-review-fixes` feature branch; commit per group as before.
914+
4. After all of Group A part 2 lands, run `jupyter-book build book/` to verify clean build, then update the table in §6.4 and either consolidate this whole §6 down to a single "closed" line in `notes_status.md` memory or delete it.
915+
5. **Do not push without explicit confirmation** per CLAUDE.md (this repo is not in the auto-push allowlist).
