| 4 | externalize-boundary | The boundary left the inline page graph and became two preserved holdings: the exact coordinates at /asset/5f3e2eed78af96da7c76e376559cd8d4/keith-memorial-opera-house-int-exterior.geojson and a static map rendered server-side at /asset/b8853e6f7d9a542401e1ebd4a48fa004/keith-memorial-opera-house-int-exterior.svg. The stored geometry is unchanged; the record graph now addresses it instead of carrying it. | archive-ingest 0.1.0 |
