Check notes: Candidate pack passage, AI and biosecurity (research/ai-bio). The quotation (15 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 and again at admission on 2026-10-30, in a fresh retrieval whose SHA-256 equals the pack’s. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. The explainer is the primary source for its own takeaway. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-30, item 109) re-read the record’s sources and found full support. No human editorial review.
