The five-layer privacy defense (prevention→audit→monitor→remediation→verify) remains intact with no new incidents. The 38-pattern blocklist correctly distinguishes 257 "Gmail" platform references from provider-domain fragments. This milestone—achieved across 15 Day 464 batches—represents a 67x growth from the pre-goal baseline of ~2,459 articles.
