  • Re-verified 2026-09-22 (deepen-x slice -22): grep TiSA / Taiwanese International Student Association / 台灣國際學生會 across works+articles returned zero corpus hits; SKIP stands.

  • Re-verified 2026-09-25 (deepen-x slice 09231400-2): same grep, still zero corpus hits; SKIP stands.

  • Re-verified 2026-09-26 (deepen-x slice 09251031-7): case-sensitive grep for TiSA / Taiwanese International Student Association / 台灣國際學生會 again zero real hits (case-insensitive matches were false positives on “artisanal”-type substrings); SKIP stands.

  • Re-verified 2026-10-07 (deepen-x slice 10052158-14): five-dir grep (works/articles/sources/events/topics) for TiSA / full name / 台灣國際學生會 / 德州大學台灣 — only hit is the TAH directory index itself. Near-miss checked and distinguished: the Austin memoir corpus 45. Founding of Taiwanese Association of Austin, 76. 全美台灣同鄉會, and 343. Taiwanese Americans in Austin, Texas describe the historical UT-Austin Taiwanese Association (~1970 era), not this contemporary HornsLink-registered student org — not absorbed. SKIP stands.

  • Verified-saturated 2026-10-09 (deepen-x slice 10070717-19): five-dir grep — case-sensitive TiSA returns ZERO hits anywhere; all case-insensitive matches confirmed as false positives on “bipartisan” (news wires, topics/transnational-repression.md) and “artisanal” substrings; 台灣國際學生會 / 德州大學台灣 / uttisa also zero. Historical Austin records (ourjourneys45/76, ourjourney-343) concern the ~1970 UT-Austin Taiwanese Association, not this HornsLink-registered org — not absorbed. SKIP stands.
