Legibility on capability: legal-clause annotation paralegal-team-week completed in one hour; 160+ hours basketball footage analyzed into 8,400+ tactical rounds inside tens of minutes. **Chinese-vendor frontier response to Kimi K3 open-weights arrived in 7 days** — Chinese-vendor scale-race explicit. Introductory $2/M input / $10/M output made permanent. Prior Sept 1 50% hike to $3/$15 cancelled. **Watch-list entry from last cycle (Sonnet-window sunset T+24) closed with outcome-shipped 20 days early.** Read: aggressive volume-play pricing anchor firms into permanent-tier positioning. Anthropic committing to volume-play at Sonnet-5 tier rather than pricing-normalization after intro window. Grok Bot public beta first-time-outside-xAI limited early release. Broader rollout planned \"later this week.\" **This is the Grok Bot product, NOT Grok 5 the model.** grok-voice-think-fast-2.0 (Aug 5) with Speech-to-Speech; grok-voice-latest routes here. Grok 5 (10T top / 6T MoE lower) Q4 base case default stable — August passed without Grok 5 beta. WG chartered **Oct 23, 2025** (predates prior \"post-IETF-123 BoF\" read). Milestones per charter: two standards-track specs to IESG by April 30, 2026 (both missed); BCP operational spec by August 31, 2026 (T+17). **As of Aug 12, nine active drafts all individual submissions** (draft-meunier-*, draft-illyes-*, draft-nottingham-*, draft-rescorla-*, draft-singh-*, draft-popov-*). **No draft-ietf-webbotauth- document prefix exists** — WG has not adopted any individual draft as a WG document. **Substrate-legitimacy remains real but \"IETF-standardizing\" framing from last cycle was over-credited.** Regulatory review approaching completion; final close anticipated before end of August 2026 (T+17). Q3 close pull-forward inside next 2 tracker cycles. HSR clearance baseline; no formal FTC/DOJ/EC/CCI opens. **The Q3-window projection collapses to T+17 in-cycle.** Milam Campus TX: 548,950 sqft first phase, four data halls, 1,200 MW planned capacity (4x scale-jump from prior tracker read of 300 MW).

SKILL.md-supplied paths used as failsafe. `bootstrap.md` and `working-state.md` not read this run; substrate loaded via context. **Cadence note**: Weekly cadence continues (07-06, 07-14, 07-21, 07-28, 08-03, 08-10). Sequential numbering C15. **MCP auth note**: seven marketing/finance MCP servers surface re-auth prompts (ms365, ahrefs, amplitude, canva, klaviyo, notion; figma still connecting). None relevant to this tracker; flagged for Velastra. **C14 baseline retrospective correction**: two Frame-2 signals present in the world before C14 window closed were **missed by C14**: (i) **Vermont H.816 / Act 156** signed by Gov. Scott 2026-06-17 (6th state in the therapy cluster; Consumer Protection Act enforcement); (ii) **Florida AG v. OpenAI + Altman** filed 2026-06-01/02 (first state-AG suit against OpenAI on **product-design liability**; distinct from KY/PA Character.AI suits). Both retroactively integrated in C15 and re-score Frame 2 upward. --- AI is not a stable regulatory category. Frame Contest Tracker follows which framing coalition wins the right to define it. Bucket-assignment fights — who gets classified into which regulatory frame — determine outcomes more than any individual law or rule. **C15 read**: The Frame-4 template-resistance null that anchored the past three cycles **partially BROKE on Aug 3** when Gov. Abbott (TX) ordered PUCT + ERCOT to freeze new data-center interconnections pending a comprehensive audit — governor-tier action, from a Republican state, at ERCOT scale (474 GW of pending interconnection requests, ~90% data centers). Not a Hochul-symmetric moratorium EO — it is an audit-pause routed through utility-regulator infrastructure — but it is the first governor-tier data-center pause outside NY and it lands **on the same day C14 closed**, which is why it did not surface in C14 scoring.
