Re-evaluate

All sub-claims have zero coverage. The remaining budget is 0.015. The most relevant skipped sources are Simon Willison's Weblog (likely covers browser security), Stripe Blog (payment-related but may touch on session keys), and Decrypt (crypto news, may cover non-custodial keys). These are affordable and could provide coverage. Other sources like Garden & Soil Monthly or Retro Game Hardware are irrelevant.
