Correction log

Sep 22, 2026, 22:17 UTCconfidence: confirmed -> reported · 'are landing a usage reset in the next hour' (future). The press aggregator has no note showing the 6M reset landed (its URL points to the 5h removal/weekly reset topic). | Policy (claude): a first-party announcement of an imminent reset, unretracted after 48h, is treated as completed with confidence 'reported'; only confirms_completion evidence makes it 'confirmed'.
