Finish the shorts: 8, 9, 10 and a new 11 - #51

Eight renders, four shorts, both languages. The three that had been waiting with a script and no HTML are done, and the eleventh is new — the verdict that was never given, which is the story from #32 and the seventh article. 8 find and replace switches off a detector 34.5s ES · 30.0s EN 9 0/100, and the invented bibliography 36.3s ES · 35.5s EN 10 61% 40.2s ES · 37.4s EN 11 an `if` that was always false 35.5s ES · 32.4s EN Pipeline order held: narrate first, take the cue times, then write the HTML around the measured length. Animation delays are absolute, so doing it the other way round ends with a short staring at a still frame in silence, or the voice running over the closing card. Short 11 reuses the seventh article's cover on purpose — the document forking into two cards, and the ≠ between the verdict bars rather than between the scores, because the scores agree and that is the joke. Whoever saw the cover recognises the short. Worth recording for whoever picks these up next: shorts 8–11 run 29–40 seconds against 23–30 for the first seven, and short 10 is a third longer than anything published in this series. Still well inside the Shorts limit, but if retention drops it is the script to cut, not the animation. Noted in GUION-shorts.md rather than quietly left for someone to discover. Two layout defects were found by rendering rather than by reading: short 9's DOI card sat on top of its own reference list, and short 10's explanation box grew to three lines and covered the first question. Neither is visible in source. Snapshot every one of these before rendering. The mp4 and srt files stay out of git, as the first seven do.

Eight renders, four shorts, both languages. Shorts 8–10 had scripts and no HTML; 11 is new and
carries the #32 story alongside the seventh article (#50).

Short 11
Reuses the seventh article's cover deliberately: one document forking into two cards, and the ≠
between the verdict bars rather than between the scores — the scores agree, which is the point.
