The last week of October, which the November 1st weekly covers, is cited here through the daily briefs. Ledger decisions run through November 1st; library checks were run on November 1st.

Verification limits
The Huawei release note was found through search and not opened; it is cited only for the version mapping its index shows. The Iambic and Jio first-day closing prices appear only in secondary reports and are not stated in this wrap. The link check used an automated client, so its 54 refusals are not a statement about those pages.
