  "principles": [
    "Records before claims.",
    "Association is not guilt.",
    "A symbol is not proof of conspiracy.",
    "A report is not automatic proof of causation.",
    "Court records, declassified files, datasets, credible reporting, and commentary must remain separate.",
    "Corrections strengthen the archive.",
    "Forms must disclose what they collect and why."

      "sections": [
        "Confirmed record means the record exists, not that every interpretation of it is true.",
        "Court record means the claim appears in a legal context and must be read by procedural status.",

      "sections": [
        "Names in records must be separated by role and source context.",
        "Peripheral contact is not the same as participation.",

        "Prefer specific corrections over vague edits.",
