  One real episode end to end: what happened, where and when (UTC), the actors, what it shows and what it must not be read as; the timeline, every event with its actor, source and the reference of the raw record it came from; and the lenses, each a use case's cut of the day with a small evidence table
• get_use_case ~640 tokens
  The full record for one use case, by id from a search or landscape result.

  What happens before and after this use case, and who hands off to whom? The catalogue is otherwise flat -- role, use case, data requirement -- with no edges.
