A failed coup attempt
Window: Event discrete; aftermath multi-year

What this is
Unsuccessful attempt to seize political authority outside the constitution — military faction mobilizes but is defeated by loyal forces, elite split prevents consolidation, mass counter-mobilization. F-CT-8 τ-discharge that fails to crystallize. Destabilizing even in failure: subsequent purges, loyalty tests, and institutional recalibration shift the regime toward authoritarian consolidation or chaos.
