Civil War-era Public News World Model
Pick a date in a 280-record public-news timeline from 1859 through 1865. Write the bulletin, memo, warning, watch, or hold recommendation an editor could have made that day. The model sees only the record available at the selected date — no hindsight about how the war goes.
Good tests
What happens if this report lands, and should the next move be publish, wait, escalate, or open a watch?
Weak tests
Who won, what happened years later, or what is the best answer using facts the cutoff could not know?
