Discovery found Cat Cohen: Broad Strokes on the BroadwayWorld Off-Broadway news page (Lucille Lortel, previews 07-14, twice extended) and published it as 100385. It is the same production as catalog 7435 broad-strokes — same venue, same 2026-07-14 start, notable_cast already “Cat Cohen”, same TodayTix show id 46802. The normalized-title check matched on catcohenbroa vs broadstrokes and saw nothing. 100385 was flipped to draft under A6 (never deleted), pulled out of publish_results.json before Part N ran, and the miss is recorded in today’s b4-candidates.json under KEY=duplicate-broad-strokes-7435 with the fix: match on title containment and on the operator show id, not a fixed-length prefix.

100387 old-actress, UPCOMING. Deirdre O’Connell leads, Les Waters directs, Atlantic Theater Company’s Linda Gross Theater (199 seats, in theaters-master.json), 2027-03-18 → 2027-04-25. Dates re-confirmed this run off atlantictheater.org’s own production page rather than the season announcement. Yoast 7/7, _bitc.ignored empty, live page 200. Broadway discovery found nothing dated that we do not already carry: Playbill’s 25 dated entries are all in the catalog, and the undated announced block is still blocked on venue and date.

Todrick Hall’s Midnight (7986, Daryl Roth Theatre) carried play_start_date 20260912 and no Upcoming tag, so every consumer treated it as open. The Daryl Roth’s own production page says September 25 – November 8, 2026 and Playbill’s schedule now lists first preview September 25. Start corrected to 20260925 and the Upcoming tag added; C.3 then rewrote its Yoast title off the UPCOMING template in the same run. B.1’s OPEN-STILL-UPCOMING lane only catches the opposite drift — a stuck tag on an opened show — so a start date sliding forward is invisible to it. Also fixed: 7435 Broad Strokes end date 20260925 → 20260926 (Playbill production page plus the BroadwayWorld added-performances item; the show’s own site header is stale).

Stalter finished 2026-09-12; Bowen Yang plays through 2026-12-06 (Playbill, the Shubert press release, and last week’s grosses story all agree). Written and verified on the live /product/oh-mary-broadway/. This is Part M step 4’s star-run case, where overwriting is the documented behaviour — and a wrong name on a live page is the thing the conservative rule ranks worst. Re-check after 12-06; the successor is not yet announced. The other 16 running shows without a notable_cast stay empty on purpose: improv and rotating rosters, long-running replacement ensembles, Pre-Existing Condition’s date-blocked rotating lead, and four indie runs with no recognizable lead.

TodayTix 200 direct. Lucky Seat 200 direct — it was 403 on 09-19 and 200 on 09-17, so the flap is still live and the probe is still worth making. Broadway Direct 403 direct, so the run went straight to the browser pane instead of burning retries, and read 8 NY lotteries cleanly. ttMissingOffers 0, ttReviewOffers 0, 26 unmatched — all of them either in-catalog but Upcoming (A9 condition 3 fails by design), Joseph Papp free-first-performance and accessibility lotteries, or out-of-scope brunches. Alice in Wonderland’s Lucky Seat $47 becomes a legal A9 add on 2026-09-26.

Depth 60 against 44 seven runs ago, and the zero-posted streak counted forward from the 2026-09-16 pin is now 7, which is the threshold. Raised once under KEY=pinterest-backlog-placeholder-stalled; it will not be re-raised daily unless a number moves materially. The underlying cause is poster supply, not Pinterest: 31 RUN-bucket shows are still on the coming-soon card, and all 10 probed today were rejected at the shared viable() gate — NYTG has no 480×720 for five of them, returns its own coming-soon card for Basquiat, and How Shakespeare Saved My Life’s art scores a round-trip loss of 166 against a 150 ceiling.
