Sources

Corpus re-verify 2026-09-26 (slice 09251031-17): fresh grep 洪桂林/K. L. Hong — same hit set (own record [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/784-k-l-hong-e6-b4-aa-e6-a1-82-e6-9e-97-201601|TAH #784]] only); nothing absorbable. SKIP.

Corpus re-verify 2026-10-01 (slice 09261300-13): fresh grep 洪桂林 / K. L. Hong across works/ + articles/ — hit set identical (own record [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/784-k-l-hong-e6-b4-aa-e6-a1-82-e6-9e-97-201601|TAH #784]] + works/index.md digest line). No memoir, article, or org record names him. HOLD (do NOT merge): [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whoswho1055|TAH #1055 K. L. Hung 洪基隆 / 2016/06]] is a different person — 洪基隆 (1953–, Riverside CA, marine biologist, I-shou Senior High Fishing Club), not 洪桂林 (1935–2016, 台北, chemical engineer, import-export). The “K. L.” romanisation collides; treat as two distinct people. SKIP — corpus-saturated.

Saturation re-earned with a clean probe 2026-10-01 (slice 09261300-13, run 18078): prior passes on this page used the broken grep -rl 'A|B' form (BRE/ERE-literal | ⇒ silent ZERO hits, per echopedia-page-deepening), so their “0 hits” could not be trusted. Re-run as grep -rlE '洪桂林|K\. L\. Hong' over content/works + content/articles → still only own record + works/index.md. Widened to a full-vault exact-match grep and to the substring sweep: 桂林 alone returns 6 files, but all are 桂林市 (Guilin, China) or 桂林路 street-name mentions (e.g. 龍目之行-林保華, 蔣經國日記/章亞若) — no 洪桂林 anywhere. Identity HOLD above therefore re-confirmed, not assumed. Nothing absorbable.
