/*
THESIS: A visible intelligence wire makes provenance inseparable from news; it refuses the generic card-grid finance portal.
OWN-WORLD: Mineral and paper fields, ink slabs, cobalt links, signal-orange states, condensed bulletin headlines, and monospaced evidence labels.
STORY: Readers see what moved, who reported it, and how verified it is; editors see the controlled path from research to publication.
FIRST VIEWPORT: Masthead and editorial-standard notice sit above an asymmetric lead story, live wire, and evidence rail; the lead article is the primary action.
FORM: Exchange bulletin / cable-service desk, third grounded direction, staged as an active newsroom board; seed 4a9b595a.
