COVERAGE AND LIMITATIONS
Search snippets were discovery aids only; every retained record is tied to a directly opened page. Single-source and publication-window records are labeled provisional or carryover, exact occurrence limitations are explicit, and allegations remain attributed. Public indexing and agency publication can lag events; an absent record is not evidence of no incident.
