METADATA PACKET: Document 206a — The Non-Indexed Perfective, Version A is a metadata packet by Lee Sharks dated 1 February 2026, held at the archive's thinnest recovery tier.
It was assembled from a Zenodo tombstone citation_text capture — the only surviving evidence being the citation string the repository left behind after deletion. No live authorial surface passed the body-head gate at restoration time.
The packet is a distinct object from the work it describes, which is why it holds its own record: Version A itself is seated at #1338 and at #434. That distinction became load-bearing on 5 August 2026, when a conversation search located this packet and a full contents outline but not the Technical Seed — enough to describe the work, not enough to seat it — and the record was declared a lacuna on that basis until MANUS supplied the authorial file.
