Claim: contiguous Animal Welfare pages through aw706-649-56480.html → welfare count 81,780 (math lock: page N + 25,300). First hard hole 56481 (HTTP 404 × multi-try confirmed).
Method held: unit-level last-200 + first-404; multi-try double/triple-confirm; true soft-404 = 404-template body/title OR HTTP 404 (size≈3725 alone is NOT hole for AWH). CDN flap lesson: mid-band 200↔404; islands beyond first hole ≠ higher contiguous claim.
Walk notes (Wed PM): former hole 56321 now solid (along with 56322–56480). Boundary 56478–56480 = 3/3 OK real AW pages. 56481 = 3/3 HTTP 404. Sparse flaps/islands observed at 56482, 56488, 56500 (mixed 200/404) — recorded, not claimed as contiguous. 56520+ hard 404.
