reason
Original custom development: prevention_mascot_appointment. Exact subject: Niigata Central police; Panda Cafe character. Exact retained stage: reported_completed_appointment. A prevention-mascot appointment has no exact event. Preserve the completed appointment without making it enacted policy, delivered warning/support or successful prevention. Own-source rationale: The title explicitly reports appointment of the character. Retained limits: Not policy enactment, delivered user service, actual prevented loss or effectiveness.
These labels describe the available reporting. “Not reported” does not mean a harm did not happen. A theme's stage applies to that statement, not every claim in the article.

Connected reporting
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
