Speakers, timeline and audit summary (metadata)

This record lists speakers identified from the transcript, the timeline anchors used for article provenance, and the editorial audit applied to the draft articles. The assistant corrected a small set of typographical errors that appeared in the transcript excerpts (e.g., 'merer'→'Mercer', 'midle'→'Middle') for consistency and to match known local usage. All direct quotes and attributions in articles map to the speaker whitelist below; where a speaker name was not stated in the transcript the article uses a stable functional label ('Council member', 'Resident').
