The scout memo identified a possible online-mainstream gap around schedule policy/career starts a seven-day personnel clock, but no verified same-session status URL is attached; this article keeps that online frame unproved and anchors the public record in the cited record. [2]

the White House supplies the source floor, which is why the public record matters more than a headline summary. [1]
