No material new developments in the last 30 minutes. The Iran-US conflict narrative remains unchanged from the previous synthesis, with no new reports of strikes, diplomatic moves, or de-escalation signals. Other previously noted items (AVDO bear market, AI caution, EU/Canada bans, Goldman call, Apple production) also lack fresh data points. The dominant theme is STABLE with no escalation or de-escalation.
