Measured across the whole published catalog this run: the pHash byte test that Pinterest and Instagram already defer on finds 62 coming-soon posters in 261 published shows. C.2’s old alt/src filename test saw 28. The other 37 — uploaded as card_<hash>.png, <slug>-poster.jpg and similar, with empty alt text — were invisible to the daily image audit and so were never retried, while Part N.2 quietly deferred every one of them. 12 of the 62 are running shows. The C.2 definition in the task prompt now reads the image bytes through the same guard; prior prompt snapshotted. Seven of the newly-visible running shows were retried immediately and two upgraded.

Tags: Upcoming stripped from seven shows that have opened (Beyond the Stardust, Lean-To, America Who Hurt You?, Our Sinatra, Human Things, Midnight, Mrs. Stern) — a stuck Upcoming tag drops a show out of roughly seven downstream audits. Closed added to 6717 Are You Now or Have You Ever Been, whose close date was moved up; its lottery data retired cleanly. Offers (A9): TodayTix digital rush added and verified on the live page for The Holes ($43), Lean-To ($28) and Mrs. Stern ($38), each price read from TodayTix’s own API this run. Posters: Our Sinatra, I Became We, Going Bacharach, In Honor of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Yoast: 11 of 261 repaired, all of them bucket transitions this run caused; immediate re-run reported 0 of 261.

Instagram 5/5, Facebook 5/5, Reels 5/5 on both platforms, Pinterest 5/5 pins. Two IG reel containers came back “still transcoding” and needed extra attempts; both published, nothing was lost or double-posted. Stories staged 0 — staging is currently disabled in the reel runner. Pinterest catalog backlog pinned 0 of 3: all 16 attempts deferred on placeholder posters, which is the same defect the C.2 finding above describes, seen from the other side.

Preflight passed all four checks on the first try at 06:04Z. The 2026-09-11 run aborted twice on 403 Forbidden at CONNECT and wrote nothing; this run picked up the backlog on its own, exactly as expected. Box office: week ending 2026-09-06 applied — 50 weekly rows, 25 current, 25 of 25 matched, 0 unmatched League rows, 0 ambiguous venues. School Girls has no League row yet because previews only began Sept 8. Cast: 1 written (Midnight → Todrick Hall), 14 skipped as uncertain — Pre-Existing Condition and Masquerade both rotate their headline casts. Post links: 3 inline links added; the flagship lottery guide verified D1-native with 0 closed shows linked.
