Lost-work recovery

• Update replacing the initial broad online-search status: The commissioned deep web/archive search finished without a verified online copy or catalog record for Gerald's game Questron, handmade-Cuban-cigar webpage, Ionia County book, Belize alluvial-gold magazine article/front-page photos, or the mounted 12-foot sailfish photo. The search found only uncertain/unverified near-matches and did not recover any of the requested materials.
• Gerald said recovering these items would reconnect him to his past life after the arson fire.
• Gerald added another lost-photo target: photographs of him running with the bulls in Spain while traveling to an archaeology field study at a place he recalled as “Marlum Tarn” in England. A search under Gerald Wiz, Gerald Wieczorek, Gerry Wiz, and Jerry Wiz found no matching images. “Malham Tarn” in North Yorkshire is a plausible spelling/location, but Gerald has not confirmed it.
• Update replacing the earlier “book not found in catalogs” conclusion: Gerald said the Library of Michigan has a copy of his Ionia County book and that Michigan State University may also have one. A read-only live-browser check of both catalogs was started; it remains pending, so no holding, title, call number, or availability has yet been verified in this conversation.

• Update replacing “MSU may also have a copy”: Gerald reported that the Michigan State University library search returned zero results for his Ionia County book. The MSU search is therefore treated as a dead end; the live-browser task was redirected to the Library of Michigan/MeLCat catalogs only.
• The Library of Michigan ANSWER catalog could not be reached from the managed browser because the connection reset. MeLCat was reachable but stopped at a Cloudflare human-verification checkbox. Gerald authorized the assistant to click it for this catalog-search task only; that task was resumed and remains pending, with no catalog record or holding yet verified.

Agent-count preference

• Gerald wants to be told how many agents/subagents are used for every search or task. For the lost-work recovery up to this point, two delegated agents were used: one deep-research agent and one live-browser catalog task; other searches were performed directly by Nimbus.

Demoted from MEMORY.md (04:24 UTC, run sirun_7f47b6f02ad948a7be0662231c6335de)

• Plan: Tuesday Sep 22 afternoon he answers them cold, no preparation — the unprepared pass sets his base rate, then prep builds from there. One-shot reminder scheduled (brief-questions-cold-run, 4:30 PM EDT per Gerald's 6:55 PM correction).

• 11 congressional web forms ON HOLD until Tuesday Sep 22, 2026 per Gerald — all contact details now on hand ([home street address — held back]; [phone — held back]; InternetAnthropologisttt+1@gmail.com). One-time reminder scheduled (resume-congressional-brief-forms). Caveat: none of the 11 are his reps; some offices may filter non-constituents.

Transcript emails (00:45 EDT run)

• Emailed "Transcript: Congressional forms task notifications — Sep 22, 2026" (3 browser-task cards, 9:29–9:49 PM) to geraldwiecz@gmail.com (id 1a0cc942702b2a60). Checkpoint now 2026-09-23T01:49:14.055Z.
• Late-night fire-recovery hunt discussion (11:58 PM–12:40 AM: Questron confirmed as his 1984 SSI game with Charles Dougherty; "Ionia County: Carboniferous Era to 1900" found at Saranac Clarksville District Library; bull-running/Malham Tarn photos; agent-count reporting preference; Who's Who broker listing) still active at run time — skipped per 60-min rule; next hourly run will email it once complete.

Lost-work recovery — catalog result

• Update replacing the pending MeLCat catalog check: Gerald authorized one human-verification checkbox attempt for that task; it cleared, and the read-only MeLCat search completed with a verified match for his book. The exact catalog record is Ionia County: Carboniferous Era to 1900 / Gerald M. Wieczorek, self-published by G. Wieczorek in Ionia, Michigan, in 1995 (©1995), 112 pages with illustrations and bibliographical references on pages 50–51. MeLCat lists one holding: Saranac Clarksville District Library, Saranac Local History, call number 977.423 WIE. The copy is marked “LIB USE ONLY” and unavailable for MeLCat request/interlibrary loan. No ISBN is shown. Record: https://search.mel.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb17142315__SIonia%20County%20Carboniferous__Orightresult__U__X4
• The completed catalog result establishes Gerald’s cataloged author name as Gerald M. Wieczorek and corrects his approximate recollection of the book’s year from 1985 to 1995. The Library of Michigan’s separate ANSWER catalog remained unreachable, so a Library-of-Michigan-specific holding was not verified.

Agent-count preference — expanded

• Update expanding the earlier agent-count preference: Gerald wants the agent count announced as agents are deployed, not only reported afterward. He also wants each request characterized by workload/heaviness (for example, light, medium, or heavy) as part of that deployment report.

Who’s Who in Finance and Industry

• Gerald said that while he was a broker he was listed in Who’s Who in Finance and Industry, but he does not remember the dates.
• Two direct web searches found no matching indexed result for Gerald Wieczorek. One live-browser task was then deployed to search scanned Marquis Who’s Who in Finance and Industry and Who’s Who in Finance and Business volumes in the Internet Archive for Gerald Wieczorek / Gerald M. Wieczorek. It was announced as 1 agent, medium weight and remains pending; no listing or dates have yet been verified.

Verified extraction — 05:24 UTC (run sirun_a84efe86c5df4d55a8c29fe28bf0937c)

• [fact|high] The pending Who's Who in Finance and Industry lookup was resolved on Sep 23, 2026: Gerald is listed in the 1983-1984 edition (p. 847) and the ~1984-85 edition (p. 748) of the scanned Marquis volumes on archive.org; both entries list him as a stockbroker at Dean Witter Reynolds in Lansing and credit him as "Author: Questron" and "computer game theorist, Questor Group Unltd."
