Retained new-information weight: 92.3%. Reporting persistence: 29.4/100 (coverage index only).

The model restored some attention because the coded severity or matched mechanism/asset changed. This change still needs source verification.

Repeated reporting reduces editorial novelty. It does not reduce verified physical damage or establish that a disruption remains unresolved.
