What: 6 new claims from 4 Noahopinion articles + 4 source archives. Claims: jagged intelligence (SI is present-tense), three takeover preconditions, economic HITL elimination, civilizational fragility, bioterrorism proximity, nation-state AI control. Why: Phase 2 extraction — first new-source generation in the codex. Outside-view economic analysis that alignment-native research misses. Review: Leo accept — all 6 pass quality bar.
