Provisional: Method limit — not uncheckable outlets: all 13 majors queried via Google News + Bing News RSS (site:domain); outlets_unchecked empty. Provisional because RSS-only scan cannot exhaustively prove absence of other coverage. Rejected off-topic RSS candidates are receipts, not the provisional trigger.
