Durable structural digest, not a record of specific dated news; verify current specifics against primary sources.
CAPF lens: prioritise security, border, defence, polity, economy, schemes, appointments, indices, sports and awards. Skip ephemeral political noise. Write the durable fact in full and flag every dated value with "verify the latest".
