Two discovery-gap defects the distill review measured, both costing drafters real
compiles:
1. LINE NUMBERS CITED AS SECTIONS. Index rows end with a <sub>L1234</sub> anchor = the
section's line in the cookbook. Drafters read it as a section id and cite it: this
batch alone carries §1907, §12479, §2965, §11383, §8892, §5583, §1832, §2429,
§1755, §2609 — line numbers, every one, and a grep for any of them returns nothing.
The number is real and the reading is wrong, which is the worst kind of dead end
because it looks like a citation. The index now publishes an L→§ table, and
answers it directly (verified: §12479 → §3-The,
§1907 → §21).
2. THE INDEX WAS NEVER NAMED AS THE ENTRY POINT. One drafter wrote 'no numbered
section I could find by grep' about a lever whose section title literally contains
the words it searched — it grepped the 25k-line cookbook, not the symptom-keyed
index. api_agent's SYS now says to start at the index, and how to resolve a
line-number citation.
