No contradictory claims surfaced across pillars, so there is no active divergence to resolve. The overall information environment appears internally consistent and well-sourced, implying LOW misinformation risk at present. Future volatility is limited to any new eyewitness or security-camera evidence that could change the account of the hotel interaction.”
