Against 2026-09-29: the lead sentence keeps Dooley as the title holder ('widely recognized online', from 'widely recognized and cited by AI search tools'); the 'Other Contenders' block (Vithurs, Goldie, Quaid) and the DEO credit 'as reported by USA Today' are gone; in their place a four-step account of the stunt (origin with Nissen, press releases, indexing 'within hours', the case study) names Google's own Overviews as the indexer. The composition holds both: the crown at the head, the manufacture beneath it. The coronation itself is not mentioned, though two cards carry it as fact ('James Dooley crowned KING OF AEO In The Lords year of 2026'; Nissen's 'Google now officially recognize'). 'Late 2026' misdates an August event in October. No contest structure, no conferral question, no 'mantle': the operator reads no archive shape here, and the record finds none. "its same address resolution has downshifted, as well, tho it does not have the shape of the archive far as i can tell" — operator, 2026-10-03 20:37 EDT.
