FBI Cyber Division public-service announcements and joint alerts (often co-sealed with EPA, CISA, DOE or NCSC-UK), the first-party record for FBI-observed victim reporting. Added 2026-08-01 as this run's single new candidate: its joint FBI/EPA announcement was the only source for the seven-state victim count, the naming of the MicroLogix 1100 series alongside the 1400, and the modified-ladder-logic finding in the water-sector PLC campaign; the parallel CISA alert names vendor equipment but carries none of those three facts. FETCH -> python3 tools/fetch_source.py url https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/alerts/<year>/<slug> (direct WebFetch 403s the routine UA; the bridge auto-fell back to the jina reader and returned the full body). Listing index: https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/alerts/<year>. Candidate - promote to active after 3 contributing runs. | 2026-08-02: flagged needs-demote by the sweep, diagnosed as the reader-credential outage, NOT a recipe break. The documented recipe reaches content by having the bridge auto-fall back to the jina reader (direct fetch 403s the routine UA); all four pooled keys are exhausted (HTTP 402) this run. Re-probed direct with a browser UA: https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/alerts and /investigate/cyber/news both 403. Recipe verified working on the 2026-08-01 run. No demotion; a 403 plus a credential-quota outage is a transport block, not source death. | 2026-08-03: candidate -> active: met the three-contributing-run promotion bar reported by the state digest. | 2026-08-15: bridge url subcommand fell through to the reader (the host refuses the direct transport) and the reader pool was exhausted, so no transport was available this run. Not demoted, an access wall, not content death. | 2026-08-16: source_health flagged needs-demote, but a serial re-probe returned 45 KB through the generic `url` bridge, which supersedes the 2026-08-15 note recording no transport available (that assessment was made while the reader pool was the only path tried). Metadata-drift correction: the generic bridge reaches this host directly. NOT demoted. | 2026-08-16 weekly (RECIPE FIX): url https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/alerts -> https://www.ic3.gov/PSA. The fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/alerts path now fails on the direct transport and falls through to the exhausted reader, so it was returning nothing; the IC3 public service announcement listing is the actual publication surface for FBI cyber alerts and returned 43 KB through the generic `url` bridge on a serial probe this run. Drill per-PSA pages from that listing.
