How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.

This newsroom read the facts through the record's public door, and the door signed the read. The read receipt was not captured for this early revision.
