    A retained time step

    This edition freezes the complete served membership and analysis available through its UTC cutoff. Later repairs or identity changes do not rewrite what this edition showed.

    Stories, Events, and cast

    Stories are reporting clusters. Events are coded occurrences within that reporting. The cast contains 134 canonical people and organizations linked to the retained evidence.

    Typed connections

    Story-to-Event edges identify supporting reporting. Entity-to-Event edges identify recorded actor or target participation. Mentions and analytical roles stay visibly distinct from recorded participation.

    Core, precursor, and continuation labels organize the reading. They do not by themselves establish causation. Collapsed graph groups and paginated evidence change presentation only; counts use the complete retained edition.
