Editorial audit of article and timeline (issues found and resolved)

Audit summary of the draft and final article: The draft was checked against the transcript and the requirements checklist. Issues identified were limited to missing formal identification of the governing body (transcript did not provide a name), sparse roll-call detail for votes, and lack of contract award amounts and rationale for claim denials in the transcript. No spelling or misidentification of named parties in the transcript was found. Revisions made: clarified that the governing body is not named in the transcript; inserted explicit statements that contract values and reasons for claim denials were not specified; used only speaker labels present in the transcript for attributions; corrected provenance excerpts to match exact SEG text. No other factual edits were required.
