What the record says
Observation. A current controlled DNS-probe round is available for injector-tomography analysis.
This report is scoped to bleedthrough. It does not merge unlike instruments or infer a cause from co-movement.
How it was measured
the censor as sensor — benign stateless UDP DNS probes provoke the GFW's own injectors to answer; we fingerprint the fleet from the forgeries. Transport this round: direct injection over dark IPs. Direct receive windows overlap; outbound sends remain rate-capped. Injector count is a FLOOR, not a census: each injector answers a given query at most once, so a silent injector is undercounted.
What this cannot establish
- This optional active-probe layer is deployment-controlled; absence must never be converted into a zero or calm reading.

Instrument brief
live-reading · Current evidence
Palimpsest's view: bleedthrough is live. The current number is 2 over 210 injecting target IPs. This is the instrument reading, not a national censorship rate.
Key number
- 2 injector response-process floor · 210 injecting target IPs
Current number and denominator
- The current injector response-process floor is 2 over 210 injecting target IPs.
- A current controlled DNS-probe round is available for injector-tomography analysis.
Same-edition board context
- Same-edition elevated layers: none declared. Other live lead or high signal ids: ddti, weibo-hotsearch, undertext, ooni-gfw, in-path-interference, censored-planet, ioda-outages, vantage-fusion, erasure-observatory, wayback, app-storefront, apple-censorship, generative-firewall.
- No editorial_priority or MAD score is treated as a finding on this reading.
What this reading does not show
- This optional active-probe layer is deployment-controlled; absence must never be converted into a zero or calm reading.
- The brief does not assign motive, identify a person, merge unlike denominators, or treat a missing reading as a zero.

Counterreadings
- A current or withheld instrument value is not independent corroboration of any publisher article, and it is not a cause.
- Co-movement with another live signal on this edition is layer context, not a shared rate or a coordinated action.
Limitations
- This optional active-probe layer is deployment-controlled; absence must never be converted into a zero or calm reading.
- The companion copies newsroom templates only; it adds no interview, article body, or generative prose.
