Running log of items included in the daily European data sovereignty brief. One line per item: date logged, headline, stage, link. Read at the start of each run to avoid repeats and to track when a thread moves stage.
2026-08-17 (inaugural edition, baseline sweep — no prior run existed)
Note: nothing found dated exactly within 2026-08-14 to 2026-08-17 (EU institutions in August recess). Items above are the most recent verified Tier 1/Tier 2 material as of this run; future editions should treat 2026-08-17 as the previous run cutoff.
