Audit findings

• CompressedResolved

  The current ending node only summarizes failure, omitting Okabe’s captivity, Alexis Leskinen acquiring intelligence, and the process by which World War III becomes irreversible.

  Separate capture, intelligence manipulation, and the ending observation; retain unknown when no reliable exact divergence is available.

  Maho’s manipulation, Okabe’s captivity, the rescue, and the ending losses are now separate events; the direct technical causality of the phone choice and the exact divergence remain unconfirmed.
