# KORA First Paper Final Blocked Metadata Review v0.1

## Purpose

This document consolidates all remaining blocked references before expanded BibTeX preparation.

It is a final metadata-planning review for blocked records only. It does not generate BibTeX, does not modify manuscript v0.3, and does not make the paper submission-ready.

## Scope

This review covers remaining blocked records:

- docs/repo records: `[R03]`, `[R04]`, `[R07]`, `[R09]`, `[R15]`
- artifact guidance records: `[R10]`, `[R17]`, `[R18]`
- paper/preprint records: `[R02]`, `[R05]`, `[R12]`, `[R13]`, `[R16]`, `[R19]`, `[R20]`, `[R22]`, `[R23]`

Ready records already handled separately:

- `[R01]`, `[R06]`, `[R08]`, `[R11]`, `[R14]`, `[R21]`, `[R24]`

This task generates no BibTeX. It makes no manuscript changes.

## Review Rules

- Do not invent metadata.
- Do not create BibTeX in this task.
- Do not move a blocked record to BibTeX-ready unless existing documents already support that decision.
- Keep docs/repos separate from paper/preprint handling.
- Keep artifact guidance separate from formal artifact approval.
- Keep the paper not submission-ready.

| `[R20]` | paper/preprint | author-list handling or approved `et al.` style | paper/preprint reference style resolution v0.1 | author/venue normalization needed | resolve author-list / venue-status |
| `[R22]` | paper/preprint | author-list handling or approved `et al.` style | paper/preprint reference style resolution v0.1 | author/venue normalization needed | resolve author-list / venue-status |
| `[R23]` | paper/preprint | author-list handling or approved `et al.` style | paper/preprint reference style resolution v0.1 | author/venue normalization needed | resolve author-list / venue-status |

## Expanded BibTeX Candidate Set

Likely candidates after final field check:

- `[R03]`
- `[R04]`
- `[R05]`
- `[R07]`
- `[R09]`
- `[R10]`
- `[R12]`
- `[R13]`
- `[R16]`

Deferred candidates:

- `[R17]`
- `[R18]`

Excluded until venue/style, split, or author-list decision:

- `[R02]`
- `[R15]`
- `[R19]`
- `[R20]`
- `[R22]`
- `[R23]`

No BibTeX is generated in this document.

## Blocked Records Still Not Eligible

The following records must remain blocked before expanded BibTeX:

- `[R02]`: author-list handling and venue/status normalization remain unresolved.
- `[R15]`: final split-or-keep treatment for combined docs/repo citation remains unresolved.
- `[R17]`: venue-specific guidance remains deferred until target venue selection.
- `[R18]`: venue-specific guidance remains deferred until target venue selection.
- `[R19]`: author-list handling or approved `et al.` style remains unresolved.
- `[R20]`: author-list handling or approved `et al.` style remains unresolved.
- `[R22]`: author-list handling or approved `et al.` style remains unresolved.
- `[R23]`: author-list handling or approved `et al.` style remains unresolved.

## Claim-Safety Note

Final metadata review does not change claim support.

References remain related-work, methodology, background, reproducibility, artifact-practice, or future-work context only. KORA's 80/100 result remains supported by KORA deterministic-heavy benchmark docs and evidence.

Metadata status does not support production cost reduction proof, real API-cost reduction proof, energy reduction evidence, production benchmark proof, or broad workload superiority. Artifact guidance references do not imply formal artifact approval.

## Next Step

Next steps:

1. Task 331C or later: prepare expanded BibTeX for the candidate subset only if final field check is stable.
2. Otherwise resolve access-date/style and author/venue details first.
3. Run final bibliography / claim audit before any manuscript v0.4 or submission-readiness statement.
