Vault deepening note (2026-09-14, vault-only)

  • Re-checked the cited vault records (TAH #576 / #292, 2015-09-07): no further absorbable facts; chamber colleagues Yo-Yo Ma, Roman Totenberg, David Shifrin, Tema Blackstone have no vault pages, so no new wikilinks.
  • Existing reciprocal links remain the strongest vault connections: |Sean Chen (student), |Kerina Chang (masterclass), |Cho-Liang Lin (chamber).
