Filed under register ME-1928-P82/7017; cite `shanghai` in all outbound correspondence.

We would delete Shanghai if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

Field Observations

Burn nothing found pulsing; catalogue first, then burn if protocol allows.

If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.

If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
