When to reconsider

Evidence of real organizational production impact or an independently executed unauthorized agent action changes the current mock-data-only account.

Dates use America/Los_Angeles. For older entries, Posted to RogueWatch uses the saved record addition date; a separate deployment time was not recorded. Future posting timestamps record first public qualification. Source publication and incident occurrence are separate.
