+
+## How URL Found
+
+The repository URL `https://github.com/librefonts/chelaone` was identified from the librefonts organization on GitHub, which hosts mirrors/archives of many early Google Fonts families. The upstream repo is cloned at `upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/librefonts/chelaone/`.
+
+The repository remote confirms: `origin https://github.com/librefonts/chelaone`.
+
+## How Commit Determined
+
+The repository has only a single commit:
+
+```
+cb9b95f update .travis.yml
+```
+
+HEAD is `cb9b95fc0510c91bc45664e5a62ed3893c09bfba`, which is the only commit in the repository. This makes commit verification trivial -- there is only one commit, so it must be the correct one.
+
+The font was originally added to google/fonts in commit `90abd17b4` ("Initial commit") and was last updated for binary fixes in `c72712175` ("Updating ofl/chelaone/*ttf with nbspace and fsType fixes", 2015-04-27). A source block was added to METADATA.pb on a pending PR branch (`sources_info_2026-02-25`) via commit `9a14639f3`, but this has not yet been merged to google/fonts main.
+
+## Config YAML Status
+
+**No config.yaml possible.** The upstream repository contains only legacy source formats:
+- `src/ChelaOne-Regular-TTF.sfd` (FontForge SFD format)
+- `src/ChelaOne-Regular-OTF.vfb` (FontLab VFB format)
+
+Neither SFD nor VFB formats are compatible with gftools-builder. There are no `.glyphs`, `.ufo`, or `.designspace` source files. A config.yaml cannot be created without first converting the sources to a modern format.
+
+## Verification
+
+- **Repository URL**: Verified - cloned and accessible at `upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/librefonts/chelaone/`
+- **Commit hash**: Verified - matches HEAD, and is the only commit in the repo
+- **Source block**: Pending merge via PR branch `sources_info_2026-02-25`
+- **METADATA.pb on main**: Currently has no source block (pending PR)
+
+## Confidence Level
+
+**HIGH** for repository URL and commit hash. The librefonts repo is the recognized upstream, and with only one commit, the hash is unambiguous.
+
+**N/A** for config.yaml -- SFD-only sources make this impossible without source conversion.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- None. This is a legacy font with SFD-only sources. It would require source conversion to a modern format (e.g., .glyphs or .ufo) before a config.yaml could be created.
