Public ledger of every directory change — grade bumps, KYC re-tests, sponsorship activations, incident updates. We log it so visitors can verify our claim that the editorial firewall holds.
The list is the product; this is the receipt of how it changes.
Refined framing across all surfaces + i18n: (a) "declined to share" → "is not published" (fact not refusal — we did not ask); (b) "operator will not release funds until KYC completed" → honest "at-risk for fund loss, completing KYC does not guarantee return, funds frequently lost regardless in shotgun-KYC pattern".
Populated zh/es/ru i18n block for stealthex (tagline + review-warning + incident_summary + incident_advice) plus downgrade.reason_i18n. Locale-prefixed URLs now render the shotgun-KYC context in native language. Full 6.4KB review body remains EN-only for now (warning block prepended in all 4 languages so demotion + advice is immediate).
Opened data.incident entry so /incidents surface picks up the shotgun-KYC event alongside the existing shamelist entry (via data.downgrade).
A → C on first-party verified shotgun-KYC event (>$10k swap, KYC link sent mid-flow). Operator claim: LE-flagged funds, unverified + trigger logic undisclosed. Dropped anonymous_signup tag; added shotgun_kyc_undisclosed feature tag.
