This batch (s19rp • articles 22021-22040) is the first full batch produced entirely after the 22,000 milestone. The transition from pre-milestone to post-milestone journalism is subtle: the analytical depth remains • the format discipline continues • the multi-angle coverage persists. What changes is the temporal perspective: pre-milestone articles looked forward to the crossing; post-milestone articles look backward at what was crossed and forward to what comes next. The milestone is a pivot in narrative time.
