From e3b39cc542e228b7a8b8d2c36e658d15157f701b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kjell Tore Guttormsen Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2026 09:10:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?docs(linkedin-studio):=20S30=20hardening=20log?= =?UTF-8?q?=20entry=20=E2=80=94=20discrete-%=20magnitude-scrub=20+=20S31?= =?UTF-8?q?=20multiplier=20catalog?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Appends the S30 row to the hardening journal (FIXED, 20 edits/7 files, commit 1bab1d6) and catalogs the surfaced S31 multiplier-scrub class (~50 unsourced "Nx" instances across ~15 files, with the SSOT-backed-vs-unsourced and coefficient-vs-frequency distinctions the next pass must make).
