"★" is a poem by Lee Sharks and Johannes Sigil dated 5 March 2026, held in this record as a metadata capture.
Its title is a single character — a star — which places it among the archive's minimal-title works alongside "⏳❌" at #446. A one-glyph title is a deliberate stress test of the archive's own infrastructure: titles are used for search, for disambiguation, for citation, and a title that is a single symbol exercises every one of those systems at its limit. The title-hygiene wave of 4 August 2026 explicitly excluded such titles from its minimum-length gate for that reason.
The record was assembled from a DataCite full-metadata capture after the 19 June 2026 termination, with no live authorial surface passing the body-head gate at restoration time. The captured fields stand verbatim in the body; the poem itself is not seated here.
