Verification Notes

This run encountered a restrictive network egress policy that blocked outbound curl and WebFetch requests to most external domains (news sites, SEC.gov, FEC.gov, Wikipedia, etc.). Only hashicorp.com was confirmed accessible via WebFetch. Per guardrails ("if the curl check fails, drop the entry"), all entries with unverifiable URLs were dropped. The single entry above uses the one URL that could be confirmed in this environment.

Multiple high-quality candidates were researched but dropped for lack of a verifiable URL:

• Character.AI teen suicide lawsuit (CNN, CBS blocked)
• Perplexity AI publisher copyright suit (The Register, TechCrunch blocked)
• Scale AI $500M DoD contract (Bloomberg, CNBC blocked)
• Atlassian 2025 layoffs (GeekWire blocked)
• HashiCorp June 2023 8% layoff stat (SEC.gov, GlobeNewsWire blocked)
