Provenance Record

Clear, well-sourced astronomy News piece (702 words) that distinguishes the directly-observed rotation result from the inferred forming-planet interpretation and is carefully hedged.

Five of six snapshots read from disk (HTTP 200); Phys.org (source-2) returned 403 and the DOI (source-5) resolved to aanda.org (Astronomy & Astrophysics). CNRS (s0) confirms verbatim the 'first ever' direct-rotation quote, the anomaly quote ('certain regions close to the star show an unexpected departure …'), and the 'a body of evidence suggests … giant planets in the process of formation' quote. Observatoire de Paris (s1) confirms the accretion-structure and shadow/protoplanet quotes AND carries verbatim the SPHERE-instrument quote that the article attributes to Phys.org ('Thanks to the unique near-infrared capabilities of the SPHERE instrument and its exceptional spatial resolution …'); the University-of-Bordeaux co-leadership and the A&A publication are corroborated here, in CNRS, and in Universe Today. ESO (s4) confirms all three image-caption quotes. Universe Today (s3) confirms AB Aurigae's '4 or 5 million years' age and the AB Aurigae b '93 astronomical units' / '9 Jupiter masses' figures plus the 30 AU and 400-600 AU candidate bodies. The DOI/aanda.org page (s5) confirms the paper title 'Destructuring the disk of AB Aurigae: Dynamics and accretion' and Boccaletti as first author. The Phys.org 403 is non-blocking: both claims attributed to it (the CNRS/Bordeaux + A&A lead and the SPHERE quote) are independently verified in reachable cited sources.

Every figure, name, and quote is accurate and traceable. Two minor issues: (1) the SPHERE-instrument quote is attributed to Phys.org (bot-blocked, 403) but is verbatim in the cited, reachable Observatoire de Paris release — the content is solid regardless of which outlet is credited; (2) the quote-marked Boccaletti title drops the word 'the' ('at Paris Observatory' vs the source's 'at the Paris Observatory'). Neither changes meaning; filed as clarifications.

Substantively accurate, fully-corroborated astronomy News piece with two trivial quote/attribution slips. APPROVE_WITH_CORRECTIONS.
