Reviewed reading

The Grok week-42 brief is retained at digests/external/weekly/2026-W42-grok.md and stays unverified as a whole. The pass against ledger captures is publication db9e3a7068329a605daee94cc0429706d0aedfaeb42c4f167b88d21483783339.

Included from captures: the 11 October OpenRouter capture lists neither meta/muse-wonder, nor google/gemini-4-argon, nor meta/muse-spark-open. The 12 October capture lists meta/muse-wonder at context 1048576, prompt 0.000004 and completion 0.00002 per token, and that file's only wonder id is meta/muse-wonder. The 13 October capture lists google/gemini-4-argon at prompt 0.000002 and completion 0.00001, and the batch id at prompt 0.000001 and completion 0.000005. The 15 October capture lists meta/muse-spark-open at context 1048576, prompt 0.00000125 and completion 0.00000425; the 14 October capture does not list that id. The 17 October capture lists deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017 at prompt 0.00000015 and completion 0.0000006, with weekday windows at prompt 0.0000003 and completion 0.0000012; the 16 October capture does not list that id. The 18 October OpenRouter capture lists those same prompt and completion fields. The 18 October pricing capture lists Haiku 5.5 at $0.10 / $0.50 and $0.50 / $2.50 per million tokens and Sonnet 5.5 at $2 / $10 with cache read $0.10. Its visible text does not contain Argon, Muse, or DeepSeek. The Sonnet page text gained the line "Claude for Google Workspace". That line is outside the brief.

Left out: the Muse Wonder Full launch story and the index scores, the Argon shipping story and the later $4 / $20 rate, METR access, the China draft, the workforce report, the Super Intelligence Force, the ARC Prize scores, the Spark Open parameter and hardware claims, the revenue figure, and the court and regulator items. Frontier, Efficient, and Budget are not assigned. Price readings are in frontier/readings-2026-W42.md.

Editorial follow-up

Source-update sections above remain unextracted change notices. This pass does not make the external brief a belief.
