What this briefing IS: a deadline-shaped slice of the typed catalog at /wiki/bletchley-declaration. Key finding + pull quote + crosswalk are editor-curated when present; honest-empty when not. Charter §7.1.a holds: never advocacy framing.
What this briefing is NOT: a substitute for direct verification of primary sources before publication. Not legal advice (charter §7.4). Not real-time (editorial cadence).
