Direct answer
OFAC and Treasury materials provide public sanctions-compliance context and show why mixer-related claims can be sensitive. Historical designation releases, later delisting statements, and dated list records answer different questions. The July 29, 2026 SDN CSV publication is reported only as a dated exact-name snapshot; Mixer Explained does not provide live screening, sanctions advice, clearance opinions, or conclusions about a specific person or transaction.
Sanctions context boundary
Sanctions context should be written conservatively. A designation release records a historical action; a delisting release records a later action; a current list lookup is a separate status check. None replaces qualified review.
