What it said before
Nothing has changed while we have been watching. We last read the wording of this campaign on 17 September 2026, and it matched the copy we already held.
That copy hashes to 77aa0fce253aa34f6631b46dc5d5df54…, so if it is ever edited the change is provable rather than a matter of memory.
Last checked . No change has been recorded in the wording.

The copy quoted above hashes to 77aa0fce253aa34f6631b46dc5d5df54…. If the notice is reworded later, that fingerprint will not match, which is how a reader checks that the quotation was of the version we say it was.
