Could **not** confirm/obtain the specific "revised December 2013, 97-page" edition some secondary sources cite. cook-greuter.com's live site is now a Wix redesign with no direct PDF links, and Wayback Machine CDX lookups were rate-limited (HTTP 429) every time they were attempted this session. If the newer 97 p. edition matters, a human should check cook-greuter.com directly or retry the Wayback Machine later. |

## Skipped (already in `inputs/`)

- **#13 — Laukkonen, R. E., Sacchet, M. D., Barendregt, H., Devaney, K. J., Chowdhury, A., & Slagter, H. A. (2023).** Cessation of experience: no subjectivity, still experience? (cessations/nirodha samādhi paper). *Progress in Brain Research*. Already present at `../inputs/laukkonen-2023-cessations-nirodha.pdf` — not re-downloaded per instructions.

## Verification method

Every PDF above was checked with `file` (confirms real PDF vs. HTML/JSON error page), `pdfinfo` (Title/Subject/Author metadata cross-checked against the target citation), and — for the two files with empty PDF metadata (Grove 2000, Van Dam 2018) — a direct page-1 read confirming title, authors, and venue. Several publisher/PMC endpoints returned Cloudflare or Google reCAPTCHA challenge pages disguised with `.pdf` extensions; these were caught by the `file` check (reported as HTML, not PDF) and re-fetched from an alternate legitimate mirror (institutional repository, author lab page, or Unpaywall/OpenAlex-listed OA location) rather than counted as success.

## Wave 2 verification method

Same as Wave 1: `file` type check + `pdfinfo`/page-1 `pdftotext` title match against the target citation, all confirmed correct. Items 29–32 are direct copies from the user's Zotero library at his explicit request (paths in the task brief) rather than fresh downloads; not independently re-verified against a live source this pass since they were already curated in his reference manager.

Several endpoints hit the same class of bot-blocking seen in Wave 1 (Cloudflare "Just a moment…" pages, PMC's proof-of-work JS shell, HAL's Anubis bot challenge, Wayback Machine 429 rate-limiting) and were caught by the `file` check and re-routed to an alternate legitimate mirror (author/lab page, Springer/OUP/Frontiers/PLOS direct, or OSF preprint) rather than counted as success. See `MISSING.md` for the items where no legitimate mirror could be reached this session.
