Archival principles

Preserve claims with clear dates where possible.
Separate confirmed facts from pending review notes.
Keep pages linkable and updatable as new primary materials appears.

Current source status

The archive currently incorporates the in-repo research brief, user-supplied canonical draft notes, and link-discovery passes. As primary artifacts are attached event-by-event, source-note labels can be upgraded from directional to published documentation.
