Result: No current finding is published for Board alarm because the source status is stale. Limit: Current finding withheld: freshness deadline has passed A merged e-value measures evidence against no change; it does not identify a common cause for co-movement.

Result: 12 signals are reporting out of 15 configured signals in the current event-flags reading.

Result: No current finding is published for Public deletion ledgers because the source status is stale. Limit: Current finding withheld: freshness deadline has passed A missing ledger file is an abstention, not proof that nothing was deleted.

Result: The current OONI aggregate reports a 58.3% anomaly index across 272,935 completed China measurements. Limit: Volunteer-probe coverage is uneven across place, network and test family; anomalies are not all attributable to censorship.

Result: Censored Planet's current remote side-channel measurement reports a 4.27% China interference rate. Limit: The remote-scan denominator and method differ from OONI's anomaly index, so their percentages are not interchangeable.

Result: The current IODA country reading has 0 outage instruments firing. Limit: No firing instrument means no detected country-scale outage in this window, not proof that all local networks were reachable.
