Part F. Audit log

• Auto-extraction rules summary: normalized proper nouns with Korean in parentheses for significant entities; parsed appointment verbs; standardized ISO dates; mapped posts to organizations and places; typed incident as ems with ICS roles.
• Manual adjustments: treated 2019 directorship as inferred rank elevation (probable); bounded drought operation dates based on “two-plus weeks” phrasing; assigned Logistics/IncidentCommander roles from convoy design and provincial command context.
• Outstanding queries: confirm coordinates for Gangneung and Sejong; verify award decorations; retrieve official video artifacts; document PS-LTE/UHF hybrid doctrine references.
• Limitations and bias notes: corpus-led synthesis; primaries elevated where available; secondary media used for color; speculative points labeled as inference.
• Similarity juxtaposition log: weights {state:0.35, event:0.30, network:0.15, concept:0.10, geo:0.07, media:0.03}; nearest peer Lee Young-pal (이영팔) with incident-centric arc; secondary Heo Seok-gon (허석곤); tertiary Choi Kwang-mo (최광모).
