## Public Title

`Antes de la carpeta, ya había informes`

## Source-Safe Thesis

Antes de que Puerto Rico conociera las carpetas como escándalo público, ya había prácticas oficiales de vigilancia, fichaje, informes policiales y represión política dejando recibos. The episode is a bridge, not a direct-causation claim between Río Piedras and the later carpetas/FBI-file history.

## Receipt Spine

- UPRRP Sistema de Bibliotecas describes the carpeta chronology and places fichar/encarpetar, surveillance from the Insular Police context, Río Piedras, and the Puerto Rico Police Intelligence Division in the source map.
- The episode keeps Río Piedras 1935 as context, not as the claimed cause of later carpetas.
- The federal context is Hoover-era FBI / COINTELPRO; the local carpeta chain is tied to Policía de Puerto Rico / División de Inteligencia.
- The ICP archive imagery is treated as official archive atmosphere unless item-level metadata is separately confirmed.

## Guardrails

- Do not say Río Piedras caused the carpetas.
- Do not say Hoover ran the local carpetas.
- Do not imply the FBI and Puerto Rico Police apparatus were the same institution.
- Do not frame every police report as illegal surveillance.
- Keep ICP imagery separate from the UPR receipt-card proof layer unless item-level metadata is confirmed.
