disclosure
Every record this desk has filed under disclosure, newest first, each with the number of sources it can still show you.
August 16: this desk's own pages stopped answering, and the alert named the wrong line.
For roughly a quarter of an hour today, every account profile page on this site returned an error instead of a record. The database behind them could not be reached. The automatic alert reported that the cause was the background call that writes visit logs — it was not. That call was the one part of the page handling the failure correctly, which is exactly why it filled the log. Two other reads, with no handling at all, took the page down.

August 5: we pointed the audit at ourselves and it found a hole in the front door.
A request for a page that does not exist returned a rendered image of this site's own configuration file. Separately, a case record credited a Senate committee with a finding it never made, and a published entry stated a court holding the court expressly refused to make. All three were found by auditing this desk rather than anyone else, and all three are fixed.

July 31: the check that only happened because someone else published.
Anthropic found three containment failures it did not know about, and it found them because OpenAI disclosed first. The finding was not produced by better monitoring; it was produced by someone else writing something down. That is the same mechanism that corrected this desk two days ago, and it argues for a specific, unglamorous kind of work.

A record appears here because it carries disclosure in its own frontmatter. If a record you expected is missing, it was filed under a different subject — the full list is on the topics index.
