SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL SUMMARY
County broad/direct queries: 16
Category/source-family queries: 4
Second recovery queries: 4
Total search queries: 24
Source pages/results opened or examined: 5
Blocked-source recovery attempts: 0
Candidate ledger count: 4

Retrieval status: completed; every assigned county received broad and direct/official-source queries. A second recovery pass was performed because fewer than three incidents survived initial validation in at least one market.
Source gaps: No qualifying in-window incident could be validated from opened official or readable local sources. Absence of a retained record is not evidence that no incident occurred.

RETAINED INCIDENTS
None retained. This is a validated zero-record result after the required recovery and v5 re-review; it does not assert that no incidents occurred.
QUALITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Promotion doctrine: CONTROLLED INCIDENT INCLUSION EXPANSION v4 as superseded by v5; retained items met a validated/source-linked tier, including explicit late-publication caveats where used.
Duplicates: none retained. Multi-source references to the same event were consolidated.
Coordinate policy: no centroid or approximate coordinate was invented; unresolved coordinates are the string None.
Importer parity: the companion incidents array contains exactly the stated Validated incident count.
