Context:
This is part of the ongoing Crisis-Phase Tracker, a running log of democratic guardrails and authoritarian escalations during the current U.S. Crisis Phase (see Hidden Circuitry for background). Each entry shows the state of key indicators as of the date noted.
These are not predictions — they are diagnostic snapshots. Red does not mean collapse is inevitable. It means urgent stress exists at that checkpoint.
