Internal working surface (noindex): every monitorable corps and league source, tagged and deduped. Items marked fan radar are unofficial signal — never quote or publish them.
Staff moves are windowed to the 2026-2027 off-season (published 2026-08-01 or later). 140 older staff items from the backfill are still in the table and hidden here, so this tracker shows current transitions rather than the archive.
