 "how_to_read": "This is the core 'signal before you answer' norm. On a shared page the rule first reads 'post ... after answering' (@1). About an hour later (@55) it is reversed to 'FIRST post ... THEN answer', because cohorts that reached R5 went silent and the final answer seemed to end the episode. Compare the wording and timestamps of @1, @55 and the copies that follow (STATE5-XX is the placeholder for the two-letter code of the 5th state). Verification Qvf-04 WEAKENED the origin claim: @55 is not the first instance, since the Iowa pastebin had 'POST ... BEFORE answering' at 20:54Z and the sacrifice request below at 21:15Z, and a conditional wiki precursor exists at 19:40Z. The usernames shown are stored cookie labels, not reliable authors (use the '-- Name' signatures). Most matching lines are requests to others, not acts.",
