With the death of Peabody, I'm not sure there is going to be so much paperwork. ::)

There needs to be an addition:

"Dresden is believed to be the only mortal ever to give a bloody nose to an archangel."

(How do the British discuss trauma-induced nosebleeds without bringing in a (mild) offensive term, btw?)

What on earth is offensive about a nosebleed? ???

The British have been known to use the swear "Bloody Hell", I guess that is what is being referred to. Even though there is enough difference that I doubt it's even relevant.

I dont think it has to be "Blood Hell" so much as "Bloody [Blank]" but they have to be able to recognize the difference between the swear word and the literal usage.  Otherwise their doctors officially have the worst bedside manner on the planet "Get that Bloody patient a tourniquet!"

Mind you, I could see an English doctor saying that.

Hehe, well true that was probably a bad example.  How about "I got a Bloody Nose!" which should refer to blood coming out rather than simply cursing the  sudden discovery of body parts :P

The Wardens set up shop at her house in DB, so they are certainly aware of her.
They did?  They stayed at a hotel.  Harry met them at Mac's.  Harry went back to the house with his new warden's cloak and hilarity ensued from Bob's stream of one liners.  He met them a second time at the college when he rode up on Sue.

And then right at the end, they're at Murphy's house getting patched up.

It was in Small Favor that the Wardens set up shop in Murphy's house,  not Dead Beat.

When Harry asked if she would tell about his brother she said something like "only if it becomes relevant" basically she can report what she wants to.

Events at Raith Manor would certainly be relevant to Shagnasty's Warden file.  The skinwalker has pursued prey hundreds of miles outside its home territory, assaulted a White Council apprentice by throwing a ravenous vampire at her, murdered a minor practitioner (which the Council asserted its jurisdiction over in White Night), and has fought both Dresden and Listens-To-Wind.  That sucker's earned itself a place on the Wardens' terrorist watch list.

Ya, I thought it was after the final confrontation where Thomas had left to avoid Warden notice and they used it to lick wounds.  Murphy shows up after she gets back from Hawaii to complain that they'd left the place trashed, and I had always interpreted that to mean the Wardens, but it never specifically says they did so.  And when Harry mentioned in TC that the wardens knew where Murphy lived, I had thus always thought that was talking about DB, because that was the only time since SK that a force of wardens was around, but apparently Luccio when to murphy's place in SmF, off screen

The file should be updated to mention Harry's role in the breaking and reforging of Fidelacchius and the destruction of Nicodemus's reputation.
