Deepen pass 2026-09-14 (vault-only)

Re-verified all cross-references above against the vault: the memorial scholarship [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/awards79|TAH #79]], his essay [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/mystories142|TAH #142 歸巢]] (English twin also in-vault), and the 美西夏令會 mention in [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys265|TAH #265]] all exist. No new vault facts beyond what the TAH tables and prior 2026-09-10 pass already record; no new pages created.

Deepen pass 2026-09-14 (deepen-x slice 09140020-5, vault-only)

  • English twin of the prize essay now linked in-line above: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/mystories142-eng|TAH 142-eng]] — disk-verified.
  • All organization links re-verified on disk: 北台教授協會南加分會, NATSA, TAA.
  • No new biography, no web used, no new pages created, nothing published.

Deepen pass 2026-10-10 (deepen-x slice 10091404-24, vault-only)

  • Fresh ZH+EN+surname grep across all five corpus dirs (works/articles/sources/events/topics): no new corpus material beyond the documents already linked above. The only additional hits are index/registry listings (index and taiwaneseamericanhistory-org) and false positives on unrelated names (黃榮昌 in [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys-139|TAH #139]], 李榮昌 in a taiwanjustice article) — not this person.
  • One clarification absorbed from the in-vault essay title: his 2014 prize essay [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/mystories142-eng|TAH 142-eng]] is titled “Coming Home—in Humble Acceptance of the Distinguished Alumni Award”, confirming the award he accepted in 歸巢 was a Distinguished Alumni Award. No date/age conflicts; nothing auto-merged.
