⚠️ Byline extraction misfired this run: the Dolly sub-headline ("Singer died surrounded by loved ones after brief secret cancer battle") was mis-parsed as two fake bylines ("Loved Ones After Brief Secret Cancer Battle", "Loved Ones After"). These are not journalists and were discarded; the only named byline on the Mirror cover is Tom Bryant. Express and Star covers carried no bylines (expected).
