The 00:01 UTC stamp did not move, so August 30 is a republish. Live threads still occupy 1 and 2. Canada appears three times (Taco Avenue, 3.3 percent GDP, academic hiring). Harald V at 7 is the only obituary, and it now matches Wikipedia's succession pair.
Google News on the same morning is a different list: Nepal floods at 1, Venezuela oil at 2, Hormuz at 3. Reddit World News did not absorb those Saturday files because the snapshot is still Friday night.
