+## The deadlines pages
+
+`deadlines-<site>.html` are five live sites' `GET /deadlines` pages and one site that does not exist,
+recorded whole on 2026-10-05 (`curl`, no account): the page is public and carries no personal data,
+so nothing is replaced. `deadlines.test.ts` parses each through the adapter's real parser; the
+expected values were read off the pages' text by hand first. `/api/deadlines` on the same sites
+answers 401 «Missing credentials», so the HTML page is the source.
+`scripts/refresh-deadlines.test.ts` replays the MSR and AIDC pages through the scheduled refresh of
+the presets' `deadlines` (`.github/workflows/deadlines.yml`). Re-read live through the adapter at
+14:38 UTC the same day, both pages differed from these files only in the script nonces and `now`.
