Stable record
A published claim uses a stable URL and preserves its wording, status, modifiers, last-review date, and revision history.
Attribution
Citable because the record is inspectable
Claims and results earn citations through stable URLs, disclosed method, source provenance, version context, and an append-only correction trail.
Citation standard
What a citation carries
Public status is categorical. It is never represented as an unsupported truth probability or rumor score.
Source before summary
A citation identifies the source, canonical URL when available, capture date, evidence stance, era, and source-quality notes.
Versioned measurements
A result is cited with protocol version, platform, GameVersion, sample count, uncertainty, and limitations. Historical results are not overwritten.
Corrections
A material correction links the previous and new state, rationale, evidence IDs, and correction date back to the claim ledger.
Embeds
Read-only by design
Only canonical, public records may power embeds or generated citation cards. Cards are stored in R2 under generated/cards/ and never expose private or draft data.
