# Research notes

## Sources and access
Twelve sources (S01-S12) inspected 2026-09-17T22:00Z to 22:52Z. All fetches succeeded. The Wild XYZ biography (S04) and the Sotheby's lot page (S05) were read in full text. The NFT License 2.0 text (S07) was read in full during the catblocks-by-kristy-glas research in this batch. The artist's X profile (S12) returned HTTP 200 but only meta tags were extractable; the timeline is behind a login wall, so only the bio line is cited. No dated 2021 source for the original mint price was found. The UNICEF auction of edition 0 is asserted by S04 (artist biography) but no dated 2021 auction record was located; flagged EX-02.

## Full script inspection
Script from projects_metadata.script via exact-slug query; 11,325 bytes; SHA-256 8ec20143df947b5b65cf24c5ee1e8becc12f7ae49b1470eb4544251fa617d3fc. Read in full (minified). Coverage: xorshift Random seeded from hash.slice(0,16); five world palettes (sky gradient, hill, clouds); five species body plans (rex, diplo, raptor, tricera, stego) with randomized proportions; seven body palettes plus albino at isAlbDice <= 0.01; six eye colors; mouth dice (tricera forced beak; else sad .1, meh .3, beak .5, surprised .7, happy rest); eyebrow dice (angry .2, sad .4, neutral .6, none rest); stego pentagon plates; raptor claw; intro rotation 150 frames easeInOut; Zdog.Dragger with x-tilt clamp (-1 to 0). No audio code. Script bytes retained only for hashing.

## Token identity and visual observation
All 100 token records pulled (query in research/fetch_tokens.py). Four static previews downloaded and viewed. Live renderer for 76000000 executed in headless Chrome via puppeteer-core: rotate.y advanced from -0.319 to -6.283 (one full turn) as ticker reached 150, then stayed static; puppeteer's synthetic mouse drag did not move the scene, but dispatching PointerEvents on the SVG did (rotate.y to -7.679), confirming the Zdog.Dragger binding; the difference is an event-synthesis artifact, not an artwork behavior. Sampling rationale: editions 0 and 1 (first and first-public mints), 10 (species/mood contrast), 20 (same species as 0 in the storm world).

## Header ownership and media
AB5D linked wallets observed 2026-09-17 (see antennas notes for method). Owner scan of all 100 tokens found ZERO matches against the three AB5D wallets: dino pals is a verified collection gap. presentation.json sets heldArtwork to null, states the gap explicitly, and supplies edition 0 as a clearly-labeled non-held fallback reference. No AB5D token is impersonated.

## Mint chronology and calculations
First mint 2021-05-25T21:37:05Z (edition 0, later UNICEF auction per S04). Activation 2021-05-26T00:52:54Z. Public opening 2021-05-29T21:01:23Z (start_datetime = second mint = collection page release line). Completion 2021-05-29T21:20:04Z. Duration: 00:18:41. Chronology internally consistent; no anomalies.

## Rights and conflicts
Artwork label 'NIFTY License' (registry, link_to_license null); mapped to NFT License 2.0 text at nftlicense.org (read in full); category custom. Code licence unknown. Zdog dependency licence not re-verified. No conflicts found.

## Unresolved questions and exceptions
EX-01 original mint price unverified (pending). EX-02 UNICEF auction uncorroborated by dated 2021 record (pending). EX-03 no AB5D holding for this series (pending; presentation handles explicitly).

## Actual model, tools, elapsed time and measured usage
Model: Kimi (Moonshot AI), version not exposed. Tools: curl, Python 3, headless Chrome via puppeteer-core, Art Blocks GraphQL, web search/fetch. Elapsed for this package: roughly 30 minutes within the batch session. Token telemetry unavailable; usage.json fields null.
