Chapter 05
Timeline
Dated from tickets and commits. The first pass ran from 14 July to 11 August 2026, thirty days from the first vault verification to the night the Ethiopia programme was filed and superseded by a generic architecture. Later rows are added as the work continues.

All dates are 2026. Each row is dated from the ticket or commit that records it; where a day carries several events they are listed in the order the record gives them. Rows are added as the work continues.
