Leak-site claimThis record

Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.

Press / market report

Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.

Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.

Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.
