The setting of Leonardo's notebooks remain a private, mirrored, unprinted research file in his lifetime is the public file around 1510-06-01. Contribution type is direct. Driver personal-data-protection is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Mixed effects of Leonardo's notebooks remain a private, mirrored, unprinted research file in his lifetime are separate paths.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

The contribution type is direct. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Shared responsibility is part of Leonardo's notebooks remain a private, mirrored, unprinted research file in his lifetime. Naming Leonardo da Vinci does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1510-06-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
