destroyer-015:b15-san-francisco links to this subject after independent source review and lead contextual comparison (witness:00000042:ch02:p0001; witness:00000042:ch02:p0040).

destroyer-019:b19-san-francisco links to this subject after independent source review and lead contextual comparison (witness:00000054:ch05:p0173; witness:00000054:ch03:p0030).

destroyer-014:san-francisco links to this subject after independent source review and lead contextual comparison (witness:00000039:ch01:p0042; witness:00000039:ch01:p0048).

destroyer-042:san-francisco: Lead compared identifying source passages and roles: Reference point for the company’s mountain tree plantation, about 100 miles away. Prior subject: City where Remo and Chiun had a recent, off-page incident that Remo cites when warning Chiun not to attract attention. Context supports one subject; preserve attribution, observed forms and scene versus mention scopes. (witness:00000123:ch04:p0003; witness:00000007:ch04:p0044).

destroyer-063:san-francisco: Same explicitly named California city. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000183:ch16:p0068; witness:00000183:ch16:p0105; witness:00000007:ch04:p0044).

destroyer-070:san-francisco: Same named city; Book 70 gives it as Kee’s birthplace. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000204:ch01:p0025; witness:00000204:ch01:p0130; witness:00000007:ch04:p0044).

destroyer-065:san-francisco: Both passages explicitly name the same real-world geographic subject; the cited Book 65 and earlier contexts support its use as a place in the novel. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000189:ch03:p0098; witness:00000189:ch03:p0101; witness:00000007:ch04:p0044).

destroyer-084:san-francisco: The current named California city and prior San Francisco source identify the same geographic subject. Lead checked the prior paragraph and uses the existing canonical target, correcting the preliminary private proposal’s mistaken claim that no target existed. No new full reading or physical-site conflation. (witness:00000246:ch06:p0260; witness:00000261:ch19:p0001; witness:00000007:ch04:p0044).

destroyer-089:san-francisco: The current named California city and prior San Francisco source identify the same geographic subject. Lead checked the prior paragraph and uses the existing canonical target, correcting the preliminary private proposal’s mistaken claim that no target existed. No new full reading or physical-site conflation. (witness:00000246:ch06:p0260; witness:00000261:ch19:p0001; witness:00000007:ch04:p0044).
