  1. Retrieved 11 August 2026 to date the transition, which introduction v8 named with a definite article and no date anywhere in the chapter, so a reader could not place its 'twenty months after' on a calendar. D-030 applies to dates as to figures, so the date was retrieved before it was written rather than recalled. THE ARCHIVE WAS CHECKED FIRST AND DOES NOT CARRY IT. The IMF staff visit statement at SRC-053 says only 'following the regime change'; the SCPR budgeting paper discusses the transitional period throughout without dating its start. Two institutional routes returned HTTP 403 on fetch, the House of Commons Library briefing and the OHCHR Commission of Inquiry press release. VERBATIM: 'On December 8, 2024, a coalition of armed groups led by Hay'et Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) successfully ousted former President Bashar al-Assad.' The chapter's interval then reconciles: 8 December 2024 plus twenty months is 8 August 2026, and the chapter's own as-at dates run 9 to 11 August 2026. TIER. An NGO report, not an official record of the event, and it is used for one uncontested date rather than for any characterisation of the transition or of the parties to it. Anything beyond the date needs a stronger source, and a Syrian political or communal interpretation is an author decision under CLAUDE.md in any case
