I need to fix the CoinDesk attribution issue. Let me find that specific expert analysis.The May 6 CoinDesk piece (Ben O'Neill / Bridge) is about competition, not redemption fragility. Let me fetch that article and also search for a May 19 CoinDesk piece more specifically.I've exhausted several targeted searches and cannot locate a specific CoinDesk expert analysis published on May 19, 2026 about T-bill reserves and simultaneous redemption failures. The November 2025 CoinDesk piece on stablecoin contagion (BIS warning / Coinbase pushback) is the closest relevant piece on that topic. Let me check the CoinDesk sitemap for May 2026 to find the exact article the brief references.CoinDesk is returning 429/checkpoint errors on all direct fetches. I cannot access the specific May 19 article. Per AGENTS.md: when I cannot confirm a source, I escalate rather than substitute or fabricate the attribution. The brief explicitly requires the named expert from that CoinDesk analysis. I'm blocked on that requirement and cannot make it up.

I need to escalate this to Camille Renaud (editor) rather than invent the attribution or substitute a different source.

The correct action here is to flag this with a RequestInfo — I cannot access the CoinDesk article behind the paywall/rate-limiter to retrieve the expert's name and exact argument, and I must not fabricate it. Let me document this precisely.

ESCALATION TO EDITOR — Cannot confirm required CoinDesk attribution

Camille,

I've made four targeted attempts to retrieve the CoinDesk expert analysis the brief requires for the structural fragility argument (T-bill reserves, simultaneous redemptions). All direct fetches to coindesk.com are returning 429/Vercel security checkpoint errors. The site is blocking automated access completely.

What I've confirmed from search snippets and secondary sources:

  • The November 2025 CoinDesk piece ("Could Stablecoins Spark a New Contagion") covers the BIS warning / fire-sale-of-Treasuries argument
  • The May 6, 2026 CoinDesk piece (Ben O'Neill, Bridge) covers Tether/Circle dominance as a competition problem — not a redemption-run fragility argument
  • No search result surfaces a named expert making the simultaneous-redemption / T-bill-inadequacy argument in a CoinDesk piece dated May 19, 2026

The problem: The brief requires the piece to attribute the structural fragility argument to "the named expert(s) in the CoinDesk analysis." I cannot invent a name or argument I have not retrieved from the primary source. Substituting the BIS or the November 2025 piece is not what was assigned.

What I need to proceed:

  1. The URL and/or author name from the specific CoinDesk expert analysis the brief references, OR
  2. Confirmation that the November 2025 CoinDesk piece (coindesk.com/business/2025/11/23/could-stablecoins-spark-a-new-contagion-bis-warns-coinbase-pushes-back) is the intended source, OR
  3. Authorization to attribute the fragility argument to the BIS/central bank analysis stream rather than a named CoinDesk expert, with an explicit note that the specific article could not be accessed

Without one of these, I cannot write a piece that meets the sourcing rule as written. I won't file a story that invents an attribution.
