The end of its reply

Looking at this puzzle, I'll work through it systematically using the most constrained lines first.

**Key deductions:**
- Row 6 (1 2 5) has minimum span = 10, fixing it as: `#.##.#####`
- Row 7 (9): either cols 1-9 or 2-10. Testing shows col 1 must be empty → `.#########`
- Row 8 (7 1): with col 8 always filled (8-run includes row 8) → `.#######.#`
- Col 10 (3): must be rows 6-8 → constrains rows 1-5 and 9-10 in col 10
- Col 8 (8): must be rows 3-10 → rows 1,2 empty in col 8
- Row 9: col 5 must be filled (col 5's 3-run at 7-9) → forces `..###.##..`
- Row 10: cols 5,6,7 empty (col constraints) + col 8 filled → `####...#..`
- Col 1: 2-run at 5-6, single at 10 → rows 5,6,10 filled
- Col 2: 2-run at 7-8, single at 10 → rows 7,8,10 filled
- Col 3: 1-run at 3, 6-run at 5-10
- Col 4: 3-run at 2-4, 5-run at 6-10
- Col 5: 3-run at 1-3, 3-run at 7-9
- Col 6: 2-run at 1-2, 3-run at 6-8
- Col 7: 2-run at 3-4, 4-run at 6-9
- Col 9: 1-run at 2, 3-run at 5-7

This gives rows 1-5 as:
- Row 1: `....##....`
- Row 2: `...###...#`
- Row 3: `..###.##..`
- Row 4: `...#..##..`
- Row 5: `#.#....##.`
