  "release": "2026-10-16",
  "version": "1.1",
  "common": {
    "responsibility": "Published by Civil Liberties Action. Compilation, source retrieval and drafting used AI assistance. Automated integrity checks and additional source checks are described below; no independent external or specialist review is claimed.",
    "dates": "Release date is the date of this publication. reviewed_at records a stated evidence check, not proof that every fact remains current. Publication date, event date, reference period, document version and source-check date are separate fields.",
    "corrections": "Send the record identifier, proposed correction and supporting primary source to policy@civillibertiesaction.org.uk. Corrections are assessed against the same evidence rules for all subjects. Responses, reversals and corrected outcomes receive the same factual prominence as initial decisions. Substantive changes require a dated new release and a change-log entry; the old files remain available.",
    "selection_history": "The first pilots were assembled through purposive discovery and source checking. Their complete original search-engine query/results history was not retained, so the first selection cannot be replayed exactly. This limitation is not repaired by writing a retrospective systematic-search claim. Published records and transformations can be reproduced from the supplied files; prospective expansion protocols below define the next collection work.",
    "funding": "CLA's existing funding and interests statement applies. Its founder has disclosed Labour Party membership. The same inclusion, identity and correction rules apply regardless of political affiliation."
  },
  "unit": "One frozen archive entry, containing zero or more incident-specific events. Stable event IDs distinguish individual events from the person and archive entry.",
  "selection": "All 41 archive entries in the 14 October frame received bounded checks. Search involved the original source and targeted person/incident/response queries. The original full search-results log is unavailable. The frame does not automatically include later additions to the wider archive.",
  "coding": [
    "Use separate event categories for criticism/response, party procedure or decision, employment action, acknowledged official investigation, regulatory/administrative finding, criminal charge and conviction. Do not total these as sanctions.",
    "Source provenance distinguishes original official material, journalism quoting an identified official, other reporting, party/advocacy accounts and republication. Provenance is not a numeric truth score.",
    "No event identified in checked sources is an open research gap. Announced referral is not an acknowledged investigation. Party discipline is not a legal finding. Unrelated proceedings are excluded.",
    "Record event date, publication/update date and source-check date separately. Reinstatement, acquittal, correction and overturned decisions must be retained alongside the initial event."
  ],
  "future_protocol": "For each unresolved entry, log the exact incident search, sources checked, cutoff, possible later decision and why any candidate is excluded. Seek original court, council, regulator or party records where available; label journalistic reporting honestly when originals cannot be retrieved.",
  "limits": "A bounded archive and incomplete reporting do not establish rates of misconduct, sanctions or impunity across a political population.",
