Named criticism registry — machine-compiled 2026-08-18 and provenance-audited for the live dossiers through 2026-08-24. Dossier-linked records expose structured primary and companion sources with an explicit access/review basis. Position-card source tags describe how wording entered the registry; the source-provenance records state separately whether full text, excerpts, an abstract, a secondary treatment, or only a citation was actually reviewed. Targets are unreviewed.
