Every record separates content_updated_at, source_checked_at, and verified_at. The old as_of field remains a compatibility alias. Envelopes carry a schema version, deterministic snapshot date, license, and attribution. All endpoints support conditional GET (ETag/If-None-Match) under endpoint-specific cache policies. Community-enriched tool responses require validation before cached reuse.

Richer API for agents
Research agents whose crawlers honor RFC 9309 Allow rules can also use the filterable JSON API at /api/agents/context, /api/agents/meta, and /api/agents/exclusion. The /data/*.json files above are the canonical surface for everything else, plus /feed.xml for updates and /llms-full.txt for the expanded core catalog index. The sitemap remains the complete URL inventory.
