Coverage gaps (this run)
Sources this run's brief needed that returned no usable content via any documented recipe. Bridge-recovered or quiet-day sources do NOT appear here. (Distinct from the independent source-accessibility probe at the foot of this section, which probes all active sources regardless of what any run needed.)
No coverage gaps in this run · every source the brief needed returned usable content via its documented recipe.

Verification & coverage notes
The run record's narrative body, verbatim. This is where the run accounts for its own judgement calls: every borderline drop and judged-not-relevant item with its reason, dedup decisions, single-source items and their carve-outs, contradictions, and per-source coverage gaps, so nothing the run considered disappears silently.

Verification & coverage notes
Standard-cadence window (gap_hours≈24.0, window_hours=26). Zero CISA KEV additions in-window (tools/kev_window_diff.py confirmed). All four research workers returned within their 45-min cap (longest: 590s). source_health.py swept 186/186 sources clean (0 UNSOLVED); no repair-order items this run.
Entries published (5): MikroTrick MikroTik RouterOS chain (deep dive, priority: critical, actively exploited unauthenticated full-device-takeover chain on mass-deployed edge infrastructure, confirmed by CERT Polska with independent vendor + researcher corroboration); Association des maires de France SQL-injection breach (direct primary-sector nexus; a French national mayors' association is a close functional analogue to the constituency's own cantonal/communal associations); JetBrains Cadence breach via its own previously-disclosed KEV-listed CVE-2026-63077 (references: ["2026-07-29/cve-2026-63077-teamcity-onprem-unauth-deserialization-rce"], a genuinely distinct finding, JetBrains's own infrastructure compromised, not a duplicate of the original CVE disclosure); IDScan.net/Nexus 153M+ driver's-license breach (global-scale, transferable vendor-concentration lesson, resolves a coverage_backlog.md row open since 2026-09-03); OpenAI DSEwiki agent-collusion incident (merged two angles surfaced independently by two research workers, the egress-proxy-bypass technical mechanism, and OpenAI's disclosure-practice admission, into one entry, since both describe the same May-July 2026 incident first published by the same primary, Nightingale Collective's collusion.wiki, on 2026-09-04).
Entries updated (2): Berlin Landesnetz/Rhysida, BSI's own written Bundestag reply confirming abandonment of the Grundgesetz-amendment plan that would have given it direct cross-Länder cyber-assistance authority, a structural federalism lesson transferable to the constituency's own federal/cantonal/communal model, plus CCC's identification of a specific exposed record type (a device-request form carrying a handwritten signature) in the now-fully-published leak. France DGFiP/ZeroBytes; Paris prosecutor's office confirms two arrests (one an identified Epsilon-collective co-founder), a wider claimed-victim list, and that a third alias (xMetah) remained active and is suspected of a post-arrest leak; arrests have not ended the campaign.
Priority calibration note: MikroTrick is this run's one priority: critical item. All four elements of the extreme bar are independently met and stated in the entry: newly disclosed in-window (2026-09-05); actively exploited right now per CERT Polska's own first-hand confirmation (not merely "imminent"); defender action time-critical (MikroTik pushed a first-ever in-app vendor notification); no disqualifier applies (patches are 2-3 days old, not ≥1 week; this is not a CVSS-alone case, the "critical" call rests on the confirmed-exploitation fact).
Merged-story note: the OpenAI DSEwiki item was independently surfaced by two research workers (one via open-web discovery of the technical primary; the other via its normal incident sweep, reaching the same primary through a next-day BleepingComputer follow-up emphasising OpenAI's disclosure-practice admission). Composed as one entry rather than two, since both describe one incident from one primary publisher; the item-granularity rule requires a distinct primary or victim for a second entry, and neither applies here.
Coverage backlog (state/coverage_backlog.md): five open rows re-checked this run. Boston Scientific, Ixa Systems SA, UICC/Krybit and Kairos/Ville de Libercourt: no change, all still blocked on the same conditions documented since they were opened (dated notes appended). IDScan.net/Nexus: resolved, published as 2026-09-06/idscan-net-nexus-driver-license-dark-web-breach, struck from Open.
Possible-miss flagged for audit attention (not published, out of window): Rapid7's "Ted"/curlRAT DPRK-nexus HAProxy implant (South Korean automotive/media targeting), published 2026-09-03 by Rapid7 and picked up 2026-09-04 by The Hacker News, was not found in prior_coverage.json when checked this run, its freshest source predates this run's 26h window by one day, so the recency rule does not permit publishing it now. Recommend the next quality audit or a catch-up sweep evaluate whether it still clears the relevance gate.
Borderline-drop: German physical/kinetic sabotage campaign against high-voltage substations (heise, 2026-09-05), investigated, correctly not returned: no cyber TTP whatsoever (described as homemade projectile devices against physical infrastructure), so it cannot carry an ATT&CK mapping and falls outside this pipeline's cyber-intelligence scope.
Single-source note: Association des maires de France entry; FrenchBreaches is the originating technical analysis; Clubic's own reporting names FrenchBreaches as its sole source (one assessor, not independent corroboration). What satisfies the single-source carve-out is AMF's own confirmation of the incident (relayed via Clubic) plus the direct primary-sector nexus; verification: single-source, confidence: medium, classification: B2.
Included with reduced confidence: IDScan.net/Nexus entry, only aggregator/press sources available (Krebs on Security, SecurityWeek, BleepingComputer) despite a fair attempt to reach a vendor, research-lab or regulator primary; confidence: medium.
Pre-existing WARN, not fixable by this run: check_run.py's reader-text-internals WARN on 2026-08-15/france-dgfip-tax-authority-credential-intrusion flags the workflow-internal phrase "this pipeline" inside the 2026-08-21 updates[] record's own summary field. That record predates this run and its summary field is part of the append-only changelog record this run has no authority to edit (the entry lifecycle hard rule: "the updates[] records themselves are append-only; they are the audit trail"). This run's own 2026-09-06 record on the same entry carries no such language. Flagging for the next quality audit, which may have latitude this run doesn't to address settled history of this kind.
No watchlists configured (product/supplier watchlists both empty per config/org-profile.yaml); the relevant sweeps were no-ops this run, correctly reported as products_checked=0/suppliers_checked=0 rather than skipped.
