Retain these findings as a sourced intake pending the next atlas content revision. Highest-priority new node: ICMEC, with distinct financial-programme donor, legislative-sponsor and technical-proposal relationships. New infrastructure nodes include Windows age-signaling, k-ID, Veratad, Google Wallet and IDScan.net/VeriScan. Never connect IDScan to Discord without a separate source. Priority questions concern programme earmarks, drafting provenance, provider admission, credential refusal/correction, retention and deletion duties. No public release or automated restart occurred.

Discord's August 10 primary methods page names k-ID/Veratad for document checks, k-ID/Stripe for the credit-card experiment and Google Wallet for an age-group/country signal. Credit and Wallet routes remain labelled limited tests; this pass found no official September 8 global-launch confirmation. The October 2025 age-appeals support incident concerns a different custody path and must not be assigned to those verification providers. These are vendor relationships and distinct rollout states, not evidence that Stripe directs Discord policy.
