What

Strict-gap batch F, decided on 2026-11-03: ar.toml gives sultan a given reading, the Arabic given name. Its given and family readings stood in tr.toml alone. So strict ar kept ar.toml's nobility reading without its gate (rules/H9's title-only-in-a-phrase), and read Sultan as a title. The reading carries tr.toml's Wikidata count of Saudi Arabian bearers.

Measured

• Strict losses (tools/differential/config_diff.py gaps on master f48c88a). Strict ar broke 226 records of Arab countries on sultan (Sultan Sameea, Bahrain); all are recovered (simulated with all five batches).
• Default and plain choices. The compiled default is unchanged. Over a grid of 15 names under the three orders (each comma shape; cased, upper and lower spellings; bin; a title; a title phrase), the default and plain ar move no cell.
• Strict ar. It moves 36 cells and strict ar + en 33, onto the default's reading, with one exception. Sultan of Oman under strict ar alone needs en.toml's of for the phrase; with en chosen it reads title 'Sultan of Oman', as the default does.
• Reviewed table. _reading_index.strict_ungated's reviewed table drops sultan from ar. It keeps it under ms, whose file holds the nobility reading and no name reading.
• Committed corpora. The snapshot matches.

Review round

An independent review found no defect. It reproduced the 226 on this change alone (strict ar 623 broken to 397) and found only strict ar moving over the 2,842 local names holding sultan. Fixed after it:

• The given reading carries its own counts, taken 2026-11-03: ORCID's Saudi given boxes 265, the UAE's 32, PatentsView's Saudi 46, nam_dict band 3 in Arabia/Persia. Before, it copied tr.toml's Saudi Wikidata share under tr's date into a field that holds a total.
• A family reading joins it (ORCID family boxes: Pakistan 141, Iraq 84, Egypt 59, Saudi Arabia 46). It moves no role in the grid, and it names ar in Reading.languages.
• The entry says no role moves, and that Reading.languages of a given or family Sultan gains ar. It names strict ms's remaining gap (721 names) and gains a recompute recipe.
• STRICT_UNGATED's comment and the 3j entry date their counts.

This batch's entry points to batch A's entry (#1030): merge #1030 first.
