Article JSON contains the published text, headings, tables and source links. Original datasets remain linked from the articles: a collection row, a source group, a screenshot and a confirmed event are different units.
Large interactive collections and visual catalogues are linked online. Each JSON file records what was left out of its reading edition.
The current English articles, selected source images and research methods. The unverified Source 1 annex remains outside the export package, as its own notice requires.
Older signed editions and translated PDFs remain available through the historical verification register. Their dates distinguish them from this edition.
A signature verifies the published file. The evidence and its limits still need to be read.
These are signatures of JSON records, not embedded PDF document signatures. They establish publication integrity, not independent verification of every third-party claim.

The live articles carry dated notes where the scope of earlier wording has been clarified.
The network overview distinguishes public code and documented interfaces from unsupported claims about vulnerabilities, intent or revenues. The collected-report registry distinguishes inclusion from independent verification.
The enforcement evidence room identifies public accounts as public accounts and links the updated 9,051-row support register. Read the edition notes as JSON.
Authored research is released under CC0 1.0. Third-party statements, screenshots and other source material retain their own rights and attribution.
Later changes to a live article may differ from this dated edition. The source HTML digest in each article JSON identifies the version used to prepare its files.
