# Batch 300 process log - shellfish/crustacean complementary perception debt sweep after Rule 257

Date: 2026-07-09

## Scope

Rule 258 is a conservative complementary perception sweep over the same ten Rule 213 shellfish/crustacean noun heads
used in Rule 257:

- `baymbay` large mud clam.
- `darkay` clam.
- `kaduy` snail.
- `karraway` karraway snail.
- `karruku` ghost crab.
- `kulil` jellyfish.
- `kuyalin` small conical shellfish.
- `marrkabina` oyster.
- `ngarrakaja` shellfish.
- `nuwi` squid.

The batch changes only the here/there pairing from Batch 299 while keeping the same bare nominative-pronoun
nonpast perception construction:

- `Ngayu TARGET yinyay nyajil.`
- `Nyulu TARGET yaluy nyajil.`
- `Yurra TARGET yinyay nyajil.`
- `Bula TARGET yaluy nyajil.`
- `Jana TARGET yinyay nyajil.`

## Preflight

Exact duplicate preflight over the planned 50 Kuku surfaces returned zero accepted, revised, or under-review
collisions.

Token-aware target coverage before banking, among accepted/revised rows after Rule 257:

- `baymbay`: 11.
- `darkay`: 16.
- `kaduy`: 11.
- `karraway`: 10.
- `karruku`: 11.
- `kulil`: 12.
- `kuyalin`: 10.
- `marrkabina`: 10.
- `ngarrakaja`: 10.
- `nuwi`: 11.

Support coverage before banking, among accepted/revised rows after Rule 257:

- `ngayu`: 1293.
- `nyulu`: 1774.
- `yurra`: 223.
- `bula`: 203.
- `jana`: 1496.
- `yaluy`: 2303.
- `yinyay`: 2546.
- `nyajil`: 2717.

## Guardrails

The batch must not open any of the following:

- Rule 171 and Rule 223 shellfish/crustacean target drift or excluded candidates: `balungkul`, `juwarru`,
  `marakal`, `marku`, `marubu`, `munji`, `ngulumuku`, `wukuju`, `wuybur`, `yulba`, `kiju`, `dakaldakal`,
  `kajarrbi`, `kunkun`, `kurrija`, `ngajay`, `nikar`, `wakal`, `wuli-wuli`, `wurrul`, `jirrum`, `mili`, or any
  alternate or synonym head.
- Edible, food, eating, bait, use, cooking, frying, gathering, collecting, catching, fishing, spearing, netting, sea,
  reef, rock, night, habitat, water, shell/body-part, sting, burn, ink/action, movement, danger, event, species
  expansion, secondary label, or source-prose semantics.
- Source-prose alternates: `darkay` as small mud clam in an independent size claim, `kaduy` night/nocturnal prose,
  `karraway` edible reading, `karruku` fiddler-crab expansion, `kulil` synonyms `mili`/`wuybur`, `kuyalin` bait/use,
  `marrkabina` edible oyster reading, `ngarrakaja` edible/species prose, and `nuwi` ink-throwing event.
- Target case, target derivation, target compound, productive reduplication, pronoun case, demonstrative case,
  perception compound, purposive, past, or support inflection.
- Closed recent fields from insect, mammal, reptile/amphibian, fish, bird, dwelling/household, landform/geography,
  body-part, fire, flora, artefact, weapon, weather, water, route/travel, implement, or shellfish source-prose
  batches.

## Execution checklist

- Bank 50 explicit hand-authored rows as `under_review`.
- Run corpus lint before close.
- Read back all 50 rows from SQLite.
- Close only after morphology, lexicon, syntax, fidelity, and register lenses pass.
- Record lessons and lexeme/source logs.
- Refresh export.
- Update the four living books.
- Render docs.
- Verify local rendered docs and live `https://mobtranslate.com/docs/`.
- Final lint and count audit.

## Closeout

Batch 300 closed successfully on 2026-07-09.

- Banked 50 hand-authored complementary shellfish/crustacean perception rows under Rule 258.
- Closed 50 rows as accepted after morphology, lexicon, syntax, fidelity, and register review.
- Post-close lint: `lint: 15097 rows scanned, 0 issues flagged`.
- Verified count: 15,097 / 20,000.
- Remaining to target: 4,903.
- Status split after close: 14,186 accepted, 911 revised, 0 under review.
- Kuku words after close: 115,747.
- Export refreshed: train 12,667, dev 1,224, synthtest 1,206.
- Living books updated: operator guide, sample production pages, mega grammar cheatsheet, and dictionary errata.
- Rendered docs locally into `public-docs/`.
- Live docs verified at `https://mobtranslate.com/docs/`: index, four HTML documents, and four raw Markdown files
  returned 200; `/docs` returned 301 to `/docs/`; live HTML contains Batch 300 / Rule 258 and 15,097 verified.

## Handoff to Rule 259

Continue from 15,097 verified sentences. The next ordinary batch should be Batch 301 / Rule 259 and should use
`bank_301.py` and `close_301.py` unless a different rule is deliberately chosen.

Do not infer new shellfish/crustacean semantics from Batch 300. The batch licensed only bare target nouns in the
complementary nonpast perception frames with `ngayu`, `nyulu`, `yurra`, `bula`, `jana`, `yaluy`, `yinyay`, and
`nyajil`. Edible/food/eating, bait/use, cooking/frying, gathering/collecting/catching/fishing/spearing/netting,
sea/reef/rock/night/habitat/water, shell/body-part, sting/burn, ink/action/event, species/source-prose, synonym
expansion, target case, pronoun case, demonstrative case, perception compounds, number morphology, derivation, target
compounds, productive reduplication, support inflection, and proximal `yala`/`yanyu` remain closed until explicitly
sourced and trapped.
