+## Methodology
+
+### Repository URL
+Documented in METADATA.pb `source.repository_url` and confirmed by the copyright string. All Big Shoulders variants share the same upstream repository.
+
+### Commit Hash
+**Binary-verified to be `2f924dd1205484c5e0054b1f3955f434224ba72e`**, not `41153e6fe01d218e933919a1d08c8e45065bc8fe` as previously recorded in the tracking data.
+
+Evidence for `2f924dd`:
+1. The individual PR commits in PR #3435 explicitly state: "Big Shoulders Stencil Text Version 2.001 taken from the upstream repo ... at commit 2f924dd1205484c5e0054b1f3955f434224ba72e"
+2. The squash merge commit `4ea17f133` also references `2f924dd`
+3. **Binary SHA256 verification**: The file `Big-Shoulders-Stencil/fonts/variable/text/BigShouldersStencilText[wght].ttf` at commit `2f924dd` in upstream has SHA256 `583e3423e62bb853b4970d7b10d44384d179d86e3e96a0bc54103cfbfb96a122`, which exactly matches the current google/fonts file
+4. At commit `41153e6` (May 2021), the directory `Big-Shoulders-Stencil/fonts/variable/` does not exist -- the font files were in `Big-Shoulders-Stencil/fonts/ttf/` instead. The file paths in METADATA.pb could only resolve at `2f924dd` or later.
+
+The PR body mentioned `41153e6` because the PR was initially created referencing that commit, but the packager was re-run with `2f924dd` before the PR was merged.
+
+**Tracking data correction needed**: The tracking data and the pending branch `sources_info_2026-02-25` both incorrectly record `41153e6`. The correct commit is `2f924dd`.
+
+### Config YAML
+An override `config.yaml` exists in the google/fonts family directory at `ofl/bigshouldersstenciltext/config.yaml`. It uses a recipe-based build that:
+1. Builds from `Big-Shoulders-Stencil/sources/BigShouldersStencil.glyphs`
+2. Subspaces to `opsz=10` (text optical size)
+3. Renames to "Big Shoulders Stencil Text"
+
+It also builds the SC variant (BigShouldersStencilTextSC) in the same config, using `smcp -> ccmp` remap.
+
+The METADATA.pb on main does NOT have a `commit` field. The commit was added on the `sources_info_2026-02-25` branch but with the incorrect value `41153e6`.
+
+## Evidence
+
+### METADATA.pb source block (current main)
+```
+source {
+ repository_url: "https://github.com/xotypeco/big_shoulders"
+ files { source_file: "OFL.txt" dest_file: "OFL.txt" }
+ files { source_file: "Documentation/DESCRIPTION.en_us.html" dest_file: "DESCRIPTION.en_us.html" }
+ files { source_file: "Big-Shoulders-Stencil/fonts/variable/text/BigShouldersStencilText[wght].ttf" dest_file: "BigShouldersStencilText[wght].ttf" }
+ branch: "master"
+}
+```
+Note: No `commit` field on main branch.

+## Notes
+- Part of the Big Shoulders superfamily (all in https://github.com/xotypeco/big_shoulders)
+- First added as v1.000 from commit `3f10610` (PR #2743), then updated to v2.000 from commit `2f924dd` (PR #3435)
+- The tracking data needs correction: should be `2f924dd`, not `41153e6`
+- The METADATA.pb on main is missing the `commit` field
+- Same font update batch as Big Shoulders Stencil Display (both PR #3435 and #3436, same upstream commit)
+- Date added to Google Fonts: 2020-10-13 (v1.000), updated 2021-09-08 (v2.000)
