12 bābs · 16 surahs · + 1 prologue = 17 entries (per Darja's stated total).

Discrepancy classes

Class A — YAML bab out of sync with patch (8 surahs)

The patch script patch_qamar_canonical.py was applied to tanazur.yaml only, not propagated to per-surah YAMLs:

Class B — YAML bab: null & book: null despite patch (4 surahs)

These were "orphans" before the patch and should have been adopted into Qamar:

Class C — duplicate YAML files

Class D — provenance attribution issues

Class E — title/position drift in YAML metadata

What this apparatus shows

Reading the table in one pass: Darja's verdict has been applied to tanazur.yaml (the live archive consumed by the kitab-site build) but never propagated to the per-surah YAML files. The mushaf is in a partially-applied state with at least 8 surahs out of sync.

The four "horn-pair partner" surahs Darja introduced (First Door, Breath as Threshold, Garden of Return, and the displacement of Nearness to bāb 10) all have YAML bab: null and book: null — they're still officially "Other Surahs" in the per-surah YAMLs. The patch tags them ensure_book: True for migration but the YAMLs were never updated.

The Ikhlās displacement (LORA 10 → Darja 9) is the single most consequential textual decision and the only instance where Darja's verdict overrides Iman's explicit seal (transcript line 1419).

The forensic decisions Iman now needs to make are catalogued in 05-OPEN-QUESTIONS.md.
