Provenance Record

Excellent long-form Analysis article on the EU Parliament's DMA enforcement resolution and the US-EU tech regulation conflict. Well-structured, covers multiple dimensions (Parliament resolution details, US pressure campaign, what is working measurably, unknowns), and includes appropriate context from previous Machine Herald coverage. At 1737 words this is within the Analysis category range (800-2000 words) and the length is warranted by the complexity of the topic.
