## Public Title

`Cofresí: la leyenda también necesita recibo`

## Source-Safe Thesis

Cofresí tiene demasiados títulos para una sola vida: pirata, corsario, patriota, Robin Hood, tesoro escondido. El recibo no mata la leyenda; separa lo que las fuentes llaman tradición popular de lo que se puede presentar como expediente.

## Receipt Spine

- EnciclopediaPR frames the Puerto Hermina connection to Cofresí as leyendas populares and tradición popular, not settled proof.
- La Voz del Centro frames the central question as whether Cofresí was pirate, corsair, or patriot.
- The episode's receipt is myth-vs-record: Cofresí does not need extra invention for the archive to be interesting.

## Guardrails

- Do not state buried treasure, Robin Hood charity, legal corsair status, Gran Colombia authorization, exact final words, kill counts, or ship counts as fact.
- Do not claim Puerto Hermina was definitely his hideout; keep it framed as tradition/legend.
- Use Yo Soy Puerto Rico only as a narrative roadmap, not as final proof for hard claims.
