Prompt

For [CLAIM] and [DATED SOURCE SET], arrange sources by event date and publication date separately. Record which version of the claim each supports, what was known then and which later evidence changed the picture. Produce a timeline, current best-supported statement and an archived-context note explaining why older articles may disagree. Do not call an old source dishonest simply because it became outdated. Mark any period without evidence and identify one authoritative live source to verify before publication. Return a concise answer with citations tied to each claim.
