April 2026: evidence spine for the published warning.
April is preserved as the first formal Red Zone threshold month. Its evidentiary value is historical: it marks the point where the published index crossed from near-redline warning into explicit Red Zone territory.

Historical continuity
Evidence focus
This page is a lightweight note, not a replacement for the formal monthly report. It records the main evidentiary themes that explain why this month matters in the historical sequence.
Evidence note
Rule of law
The record preserved rule-of-law and court-compliance concerns as central drivers.
Due process
April maintained due-process strain as a core warning category.
Historical baseline
Future months should be compared against April to distinguish threshold crossing from later deepening.
Preservation rule
Each month is treated as a standalone public record. Later pages may summarize or compare this month, but they should not overwrite the original historical meaning of the published score.
