Provenance Record

Clear, well-scoped robotics News piece (505 words) on the next-gen Proteus and the European investment, with careful handling of a cross-outlet count discrepancy.

All 4 snapshots read from disk (HTTP 200). source-0 (Amazon newsroom) confirms the conversational / no-programming-interface interaction, the beyond-dock workstation operation, the lab pilot, and the first-half-2027 European deployment. source-1 (The Robot Report) confirms the more-than-€10 billion ($11.6 billion) investment, the verbatim Scott Dresser 'You tell it what needs to be done…' quote, the 24 US fulfillment centers, the 1-million-robots fleet, STARK at 15 European sites by 2027, and Vulcan at Hamburg. source-2 (Gizmodo) confirms the Delivering the Future London unveiling, the nearly-400 kg / 882 lb cart figure, and the plain-language shift. source-3 (Tech Startups) confirms the alternative 25-facility count.

Every quote and specific is verbatim in its cited outlet. The cross-outlet US-fulfillment-center count (Robot Report 24 vs Tech Startups 25) is handled correctly — hedged to 'more than two dozen' in the body and split-attributed in 'What We Don't Know', with no compound citation. The CNBC source (bot-blocked 403) was correctly excluded.

High-quality, fully-verified robotics submission with disciplined discrepancy handling. APPROVE.
