Add a source-request loop for what agents can't fetch

Datawrapper's blog 403s, Medium is unreachable, JSTOR wants a session,
and a search snippet is a paraphrase rather than a source's words. The
failure mode is guessing, or silently writing a weaker page.

docs/source-requests.md now holds a fetch queue with the specific
question each link needs to answer, plus a register of claims already
live on the site that rest on recall rather than a page anyone opened —
starting with the riskiest, an inference about which mistakes the
Economist piece owns up to. docs/sources/ is the drop zone.

# Fetched sources
Drop zone for pages an agent couldn't reach itself. One file per source,
named for the row it answers — e.g. `datawrapper-pie-charts.md`,
`economist-mistakes.md`.
No format requirements. Paste the relevant passages, or just write what the
page says in a couple of sentences. Either works; the point is that a claim
stops resting on recall.
Worth stating at the top of each file: **where it came from and when**, so a
later reader can tell a 2018 position from a 2026 revision. Datawrapper's
dual-axis post is exactly this trap — it was rewritten years after the version
everyone quotes.
Keep files to the passages that matter. This repo is public, and these notes
exist to check claims rather than to reproduce anyone's writing.
See `../source-requests.md` for what's wanted and why.
