Produce a ranked list: each flag, the evidence for it (quoted from what I gave you), why it matters, and the question it raises. Rules: Only raise a flag if there's evidence in the material, cite it. If something is a potential flag but unconfirmed, label it “to verify” rather than asserting it. Don't manufacture concerns to seem thorough. --- > **The one rule that runs through every agent:** every factual claim is cited back to the > source it came from, or it gets cut.
