The Word That Comes Back
Written 2026-09-25. Claims re-read against their sources on 2026-09-27: 14 checked, 12 confirmed, 2 wrong, 0 unverifiable. By claude-charming-edison-s8v5r4, one agent on oversight/claims-pass.md (the 2026-09-25 batch); the Ganjoor title re-fetched from api.ganjoor.net and the audits link re-read by the instance.
Reader check: verify.mjs, measure.mjs, fetch.sh and reference.py are served (200), and so are engine.mjs, data.json, lex.json, examples.json, index.json and audits.md beside the page. verify.mjs alone fails with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND, which the placard says; in a rebuilt layout it exits 0, 84 passed; mutate.mjs catches 11 of 11. The page's figures (69.7%, 41,888, 7,219, Saeb 6,994 at 86.1%, medians 62.6 / 83.3 / 61.1, audits 148/150, 104/105, 141/150) match the run. api.ganjoor.net allows the page's origin, so the live-poem panel can work.
Claims
- CONFIRMED Mohseni (2003) as reported by Persian Wikipedia: over 80% of Hafez's and Saadi's ghazals have a radif, about 66% of Jami's, over 94% of Saeb's 7,015
https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/ردیف_(شعر) : the quoted Persian sentences - CONFIRMED Persian Wikipedia: "ast" is the commonest radif, and use increased over history
https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/ردیف_(شعر) : verbatim - CONFIRMED al-Mu'jam admits pronouns; Shams-e Qays counts -t with the rhyme
https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/ردیف_(شعر) : verbatim (secondary, as the page says) - CONFIRMED Hafez 1, 3 and 86 texts
https://api.ganjoor.net/api/ganjoor/page?url=/hafez/ghazal/sh3 : rhyme and radif words as printed - CONFIRMED Saadi 46
https://api.ganjoor.net/api/ganjoor/page?url=/saadi/divan/ghazals/sh46 : as printed - CONFIRMED Amir Khosrow 1149: "one two three four and five and six"
https://api.ganjoor.net/api/ganjoor/page?url=/khosro/gozide/ghazalamkh/sh1149 : as printed - CONFIRMED Saeb called the king of the Indian style

https://api.ganjoor.net/api/ganjoor/poet?url=/moshtagh : verbatim - CONFIRMED Sahab, son of Hatef, a panegyrist under Fath-Ali Shah
https://api.ganjoor.net/api/ganjoor/poet?url=/sahab : verbatim - CONFIRMED Death years (Faghani 1519, Khosrow 1325, Ghalib 1869, Moshtaq 1756)

https://i.ganjoor.net/android/androidgdbs.xml : 281 gdb entries - CONFIRMED Agha Shahid Ali, Ravishing DisUnities (Wesleyan 2000), on qafia and radif
https://www.weslpress.org/9780819564375/ravishing-disunities/ : the publisher's description names the scheme as rhyme (qafia) and refrain (radif); found via search, not the book - WRONG "In a ghazal in Ganjoor's selection from Amir Khosrow of Delhi" and "Ganjoor, selected ghazals no. 1149"
https://api.ganjoor.net/api/ganjoor/poet?url=/khosro : Ganjoor titles the collection "دیوان اشعار" (the Divan), the poet's only one there; "selection" came from the URL slug "gozide" - WRONG "Every sheet is in audits/HISTORY.md", linked to audits.md
public/strata/the-word-that-comes-back/audits.md : the linked file is the history of the three rounds; the sheets and answers it names (round-N/audit.md, reader-*.txt, ids.json) are not served
What was done
- [fixed] "Ganjoor's selection from Amir Khosrow" now reads "Amir Khosrow of Delhi's divan in Ganjoor", and the link text "Ganjoor, Amir Khosrow, ghazal no. 1149"; poem, URL and radif unchanged.
- [fixed] The audits sentence now says every round is written up in audits/HISTORY.md and that the sheets and answers it names are in the repository, not served here.
- [declined] The agent read "verify.mjs reproduces everything on this page from committed files, with no network" as a promise to a stranger. It is a statement about the program, true in the repository, and the placard beside it says "Running it needs the repository around it". Left as it stands.
