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

Re-checked both cited TAH works (#246, #503) and the corpus: all absorbable biographical text is already in the profile/timeline above, and every institution with a vault page (Stanford, Vanderbilt) is linked — |Taiwanese Cultural Society at Stanford University and |Stanford Taiwanese Student Association above apply as campus context only. No Curtis Institute, Juilliard, Houston, or 高雄 page exists in the vault, so no further existing-slug links apply. Status: saturated, pending-verification. (slice 09140107-9)

Deepen-x 2026-09-14 (slice 09141300-9, corpus grep)

  • New corpus mention: in the ta.org interview Vanessa Chen — “Until the Sun Rises”, artist Vanessa Chen credits “Sean Wang” (portfolio seanwang.format.com) as one of two artists who donated works to her thesis exhibition, describing his piece Artist from Taiwan, China as his own experience of being forced to append “China” to his nationality at a show in China. HOLD: the source describes a visual-art practice and gives no Chinese name; identity as violinist/musicologist 王雍翔 is unconfirmed — not merged into the timeline above.
  • Other corpus hits remain the already-absorbed records [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/246-sean-wang-e7-8e-8b-e9-9b-8d-e7-bf-94violinist-201507|TAH #246]] / [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/503-sean-wang-e7-8e-8b-e9-9b-8d-e7-bf-94-201507|TAH #503]] plus the works index; no Our Journeys memoir mentions.

Deepen-x 2026-10-10 (slice 10091404-30, corpus re-verify)

Fresh ZH+EN+surname grep (王雍翔 / 王雍 / Sean Wang / Sean Y. Wang / Yongxiang) across all five corpus dirs returned the identical hit set as the 2026-09-14 passes: TAH #246 / #503 (biographical text already absorbed in Identity Snapshot + Timeline), the works index, the source page, and the Vanessa Chen interview — whose “Sean Wang” visual-art reference remains HOLD (no Chinese name, art practice unconfirmed against the violinist/musicologist). No new memoir, event, or topic mentions. Status: saturated, pending-verification.
