Intelligence Brief
A daily PDB-style open-source watch of public federal records — Treasury, State, Defense, the Federal Register, USGS, and related dockets. Each section carries one citation. Later days may show a short catch-up chip when a prior subject returns; they do not rewrite the earlier brief.
6 dated briefs. America/Los_Angeles civil dates. A content hash may be anchored on Base. The chain stores a hash, not the brief. The hash is not statutory publication. The full text stays on Notice Nearby.
