[?25l[?25lI'll share my reasoning process (using tool: thinking): Looking at the document after apply_review_answers, I can see several issues:
1. The review queue section still has 2 stale questions that weren't cleared (they show as answered [x] but are still in the file)
2. The document has a duplicate title (# Egyptian Hieroglyphics appears twice)
3. The period of use tag `@t[3200 BCE..400]` is malformed - should be `@t[~3200 BCE..~400 CE]`
4. The decipherment line got `@t[?]` added to it - "Deciphered by: Jean-François Champollion (1822) using the Rosetta Stone @t[?] [^1]" - this is wrong, the date is known: 1822 CE, so it should be `@t[=1822]`
5. The footnote separator is broken: `[^2]: Parkinson, R. *The Rosetta Stone* (British Museum, 2005)---` - the `---` is attached to the footnote
Issues to fix:
1. Duplicate title
2. Malformed period of use tag: `@t[3200 BCE..400]` → `@t[~3200 BCE..~400 CE]`
3. Wrong temporal tag on decipherment: `@t[?]` → `@t[=1822]`
4. Broken footnote separator (missing newline before `---`)
5. The review queue section still has answered questions - these should be cleared
Let me also do web search to enrich the document.
For the review queue - the apply_review_answers tool seems to have only partially cleared the queue. The temporal and missing questions were cleared but the stale ones remain. This might be a bug to report.
Actually wait - looking more carefully at the output, the review queue section shows:
```
## Review Queue
<!-- factbase:review -->
- [x] `@q[stale]` Line 13: ...
- [x] `@q[stale]` Line 22: ...
```
These are answered (marked [x]) but still present. The apply_review_answers tool should have removed them. This is a bug - the tool said it applied 22 questions but the stale ones are still in the file.
Let me now do the web search for enrichment, then fix all the issues in one update_document call.

[?25l> I can see several issues in the applied document:
1. Duplicate # Egyptian Hieroglyphics title
2. @t[3200 BCE..400] malformed (missing ~ and CE)
3. @t[?] incorrectly added to the 1822 decipherment (date is known)
4. Broken footnote separator ([^2]: ...--- missing newline)
5. Review queue section still has 2 answered stale questions (apply didn't clear them — bug to report)

[?25l> Good, I have enough information. Now let me fix the document. Issues to address:

1. Remove duplicate title
2. Fix @t[3200 BCE..400] → @t[~3200 BCE..~400 CE]
3. Fix @t[?] on decipherment line → @t[=1822]
4. Fix broken footnote separator (missing newline before ---)
5. Clear the remaining answered stale questions from the review queue section
6. Enrich: add determinatives to system description, add Book of the Dead date range, note earliest examples may go back to 3400 BCE
