Used the full 28-search/page-lookup budget across all four tracks, including repeated searches for research, compute, funding and acquisitions. Retained five events supported by opened original announcements. Coverage is selective: investor-side corroboration and original-paper verification remained incomplete. Labelbox's opened page displays October 14, although its search snippet displayed October 13; the opened date governs. Apple's Minions page provides only October 2026, insufficient to establish eligibility. d-Matrix discovery results conflict between an October 13 syndication and an October 12 original announcement, so it was excluded. OpenAI–Trail of Bits acquisition discussions lacked verified primary confirmation and were excluded. Ramp funding could not be verified against a dated original announcement. No retained announcement was dated October 15 or October 16; this scan does not establish that either day was quiet. No existing events were updated.
Primary source passages verified against independently fetched pages. Automated interpretations remain labeled for review; name-only merges are withheld.
0 unresolved items withheld from this edition. Current article activity uses each corpus’s fixed news basis; historical people profiles keep their training watermark. Missing measurements stay missing.
