WS #9804
No material new developments in the last 30 minutes. The Iran-Israel-Lebanon escalation narrative remains the dominant signal, with no counter-signals or de-escalation reported. Other previously noted items (oil inventories, SpaceX IPO, Anthropic dispute, McConnell hospitalization, UK tanker seizure, G7 protests) have no new data points. The situation is STABLE with no change in the prevailing thesis.
