Augment Transformations Not Reliably Persisting — Hand-Curated Field Edits and Whole-Row Augmentations Are Disappearing Across Record-Set Versions
Two failures observed in the same 2026-06-02 session, escalating from immediate to systemic. (Immediate) The user just hand-curated 98 OfficialUpdate URLs across 45 records on the new Records Surface — there is no save / promote affordance in that UI, so the only thing keeping those acceptances alive is the row-store's auto-persisted JSON on disk. A backup has been pulled to `.backups/2026-06-02_records-surface-acceptances/` against accidental data loss. (Systemic) The active record set v5 is missing the homepage-URL edits the user made in a prior v3→v4 augment pass — those edits ARE in the row-store's earlier record sets but did not carry forward through promote. The product's whole value premise is 'augment a record set, promote it to the next version, and your work survives' — that is currently not true for some field categories.
