Parking lot — Web-search queue

Append-only queue of counter-argument citations and primary critics that need verification during the weaving pass (ADR-0021, Variant 2). Foundation-pass batches do not do counter-arg web search; they flag the need here.

Each entry: one line per item, grouped under a ## {batch-id} — {YYYY-MM-DD} heading. Format:

- **{critic / work / year}** — needed-for: {thread-candidate or atomic} | one-line: {what to verify or which counter-position to find} | review: {batch-review filename}

Examples of what gets parked here:

  • A counter-position is named in passing in source material but no primary critic has been identified yet
  • An atomic makes a claim that will eventually want a “but classical theology says X” thread, and the canonical X-source needs locating
  • A specific work is referenced (e.g., “Block on Mosaic theophany”) but the exact citation needs verification

Weaving pass batches the searches, then writes the resulting threads with citations grounded.
