Curated public use: Use as shared-ground and coordination context; it does not establish C2 or the RQ1 pathway.

Limitation: Source cards are evidence anchors, not proof that a linked claim is settled.

Source note: Frames 2026 trust problem as retreat into insular circles of trust, loss of optimism, and resistance to change.
