The 07-28 quake below was tracked in this thread only through TSMC's fab status and Tokyo Electron's supply exposure. The disaster itself was absent from the map entirely — flagged by the /week world-news digest (2026-08-02) as a real gap, and by Ben as a lens-boundary question worth a direct call rather than a silent add: does a natural disaster belong in the world-news lens (scoped to conflict/geopolitical narratives — AGENTS.md discipline 13's own coverage bar is "all active military conflicts," not disasters generally), or does it stay narrowly scoped to conflict as designed? Ruling: it stays out of world-news — a natural disaster isn't a conflict/geopolitical narrative, and stretching the lens's definition to fit it would be scope creep beyond what the lens was built for. It's also not a flash-rail candidate a week on: the event was never hidden, only narrowly framed, and the flash rail's late-catch allowance exists for stories genuinely missed, not for widening an existing story's frame after the fact. The actual fix, and the real gap: the human toll belongs in the record somewhere, so it lands here, where the event is already tracked — not as a new thread, just an honest account. Verified fresh against primary/consolidated sources (figures below are the FINAL tallies, updated from the developing-disaster numbers first reported 07-28, which undercounted as rescue efforts continued): 38 dead, 127 injured. The Aeon Mall in Kashima's second floor collapsed onto an estimated 3,000 shoppers, followed by a suspected gas- leak explosion — 7 of the 38 deaths and roughly 55 of the injuries were at this one site; two of the dead were store employees ordered back inside after evacuating, to retrieve cash. ~48,300 households lost power in Kumamoto Prefecture (restored by 07-31); up to 84,000 households lost water across Kumamoto and Nagasaki; ~15,000 people sheltered across 400 evacuation centers.
