Added 2026-08-08 as the one new candidate this run (S4 discovery). English-language Dutch outlet carrying first-hand Dutch company and regulator statements (Bol, De Bijenkorf, Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) ahead of or alongside English aggregators, closes a Netherlands breach-disclosure gap on the EU home-region beat. Promote after 3 contributing runs. | 2026-08-09: promoted candidate -> active. The state digest counted 7 distinct contributing runs, well past the 3-run bar; acting on the counted evidence rather than eyeballing it. | 2026-09-09: resolved source_health's `needs-bridge` UNSOLVED (plain UA GET 403s). Both `extract` (trafilatura-direct) and the RSS feed https://nltimes.nl/rss.xml return cleanly; added rss_url and switched fetch_method webfetch -> rss. FETCH: python3 tools/fetch_source.py feed https://nltimes.nl/rss.xml, then extract the article URL. | 2026-09-19: source_health.py's direct probe flagged this UNSOLVED (unreachable), but the documented recipe (python3 tools/fetch_source.py feed https://nltimes.nl/rss.xml, which auto-falls-back to jina) returned 10 items cleanly this run, and a direct jina fetch of the homepage also succeeds. Transient direct-probe block, not a dead source; no demotion, no change to fetch_method/url.
