Dated, not timeless

A current claim carries the date it was read and the date or event that forces another look.

Detected, then reviewed

A changed source opens a private review queue. Automation never rewrites a public fact or advances its date by itself.

Impact before correction

Each evidence record names the public decisions that must be inspected before a material correction ships.

How this site checks itself

A maintenance claim is only real when failure is visible.

  1. Name the controlling material. A source is attached to the exact collection it governs.
  2. Preserve jurisdiction and scope. California rules, federal rules, private credentials, and provider claims do not silently become one another.
  3. Fingerprint without copying. The source watcher stores a one-way digest and response metadata—not source text, correspondence, or personal records.
  4. Open review; do not auto-publish. A possible change creates a private triage item with the evidence records and public pages that may be affected.
  5. Arm the next checkpoint. A record presented as current cannot pass the release after its review date.
  6. Publish the boundary. Every record says what it cannot safely prove.
  7. Record correction. Material changes belong in What changed; suspected errors have a direct correction route.

This registry describes editorial maintenance. It is not a certification, audit opinion, warranty, legal opinion, or substitute for checking the controlling authority against your facts.
