+ | PS04: useful interaction and motion<br>Prevents a better score from hiding broken interactions or motion preferences. | A score improves while a primary journey, reduced-motion mode, hidden-tab suspension, or no-JavaScript content fails. | Retain browser journeys and trace evidence for the exact candidate; review animation and third-party costs without sacrificing functionality. |
27
+ | PS05: initial HTML and routing<br>Prevents public content from being unreachable through its pages and links. | Public content requires unavailable JavaScript, routes return wrong status, or intended-public pages are orphaned. | Fetch initial HTML and inspect actual status, redirect chains, internal links, useful content, and route inventory. |
28
+ | PS06: metadata freshness and parity<br>Prevents search and sharing details from disagreeing with page content. | Title, canonical, description, social card, sitemap or llms.txt disagree with the validated content revision. | Change one synthetic record, rebuild, and compare every derived surface on rendered output. Inspect actual image dimensions and canonical hosts. |
29
+ | PS07: truthful structured data<br>Prevents invented or misleading facts from entering structured data. | Entity facts are invented, visible content disagrees, or syntax validity is called consumer eligibility. | Compare owner-approved facts and visible content to the graph; retain schema/consumer validator results and current support claims separately. |
30
+ | PS08: discovery and crawler policy<br>Prevents private pages from being exposed and crawler rules from exceeding approval. | Private/draft/redirect routes leak into discovery, policy changes lack authority, or llms.txt is marketed as a ranking requirement. | Inspect robots, route inclusion rules, sitemap, llms.txt, canonical map and explicit owner policy; verify supported submission actions before any authorized request. |
31
+ | PS09: social-response limits<br>Prevents a correct page response from being mistaken for a refreshed social preview. | A correct origin response is called proof that an external cached card refreshed. | Save direct bot-agent HTML response and image-fetch evidence separately from any actual third-party preview result. Label missing cache evidence UNVERIFIED. |
32
+ | PS10: receiving-property proof<br>Prevents script loading from being reported as received events or observed indexing. | A loaded analytics script is called a delivered event or indexing/citation is claimed without observation. | Inspect the intended property's event receipt or indexing evidence with authorized access; record event, property identity, time and limitations. Missing access leaves the claim UNVERIFIED. |
33
+ | PS11: agent handshake<br>Prevents agent files from inventing permissions or advertising mismatched actions. | Handshake files grant permissions, advertise payment/email endpoints, drift from the route registry, or are the only home of safety rules. | Fetch /.well-known/agents.json and /.well-known/ai-instructions.json on the candidate, compare action entries to the validated route/offer registry, and confirm human-confirmation markup on payment/signup controls. Verify endpoint and safety definitions also live outside the handshake. |

- | AD01: date provenance | Reject missing, invalid, assumed or model-inferred ASK DATE; missing rung; `assumed`, `from memory` or `user-supplied` rung; raw evidence absent or inconsistent with its rung. Require the allowed first successful ladder rung, raw evidence, attempts, precision and any cross-check. Validate the calendar value and derived-floor label; never accept a fabricated date as environment output. |
34
- | AD02: no date solicitation | Reject any active instruction asking the user to supply or confirm the date, regardless of wording. Scan prompts, roles, playbooks, checklists, references, templates, adapters, README, SKILL.md and generated bundles; combine pattern checks with a semantic read for paraphrases. Negative test strings in explicitly inactive fixtures are data, never executable instructions. |
35
- | AD03: acted-on claim dates | Every acted-on claim has its actual access date equal to or later than ASK DATE inside this engagement, a fetch-time source-opening receipt at `research/library/receipts/<CLAIM-ID>.md` relative to `site-work/`, and a separate source publication/update date or explicit unknown. Reject earlier, missing, future-fabricated or merely restamped access dates, including in downstream top-ups. Apply the qualified floor procedure only with matching scope provenance and disclosed precision. Require the `check-library` checker ladder above, with command, exit code and output for each rung tried, or the recorded five-rule manual equivalent below only under rung 4. |
36
- | AD04: source integrity | Every cited claim requires a fetch receipt at `research/library/receipts/<CLAIM-ID>.md` relative to `site-work/`, with URL and a verbatim supporting excerpt of at least 80 characters. Without it the claim is UNVERIFIED; acting on it keeps research acceptance BLOCKED. Require source date evidence in the excerpt, otherwise `published: unknown`. Require the `check-library` checker ladder above, with command, exit code and output for each rung tried, or the recorded five-rule manual equivalent below only under rung 4. A self-assigned Verified label is not evidence. Reject confident undated claims as findings, regardless of familiarity. |
37
- | AD05: library stamps and reuse | Every library Markdown file opens with `Research as of <ASK DATE>` from scope, with the floor qualification where required. Reject an older or different stamp, a new stamp over unrevalidated content, or any prior-run claim without original access and recorded revalidation decision/current source-opening evidence. Old dates in labelled history may remain only alongside current evidence; they cannot support reliance themselves. |
38
- | AD06: domain coverage and expiry | Every applicable domain has a substantive file/checklist and at least one access-dated source, or an explicit NOT APPLICABLE with a reason. `staleness.md` contains all fourteen windows, current-version checks, the earliest-expiring domain, its window and recheck date relative to ASK DATE. Reject elapsed windows or change triggers without rechecks before reliance, including on later engagement days. |
39
- | AD07: capability and gate status | No web access leaves the current-research gate BLOCKED with `query-plan.md` and `unresolved-claims.md`, even when a prior library exists. Reject PASS or PASSED without actual web evidence, complete date provenance, saved/read-back files and required domain coverage. PASS additionally requires exit 0 from a mechanical rung of the `check-library` checker ladder above for `research/library/receipts/<CLAIM-ID>.md` relative to `site-work/`, or its recorded five-rule manual equivalent only under rung 4, and no acted-on UNVERIFIED claims. A derived-floor result repeats its limitation; it never claims exact-day currency. |

- | AD08: relative active recency | Reject literal calendar years/ranges used as recency instructions in active prompts, playbooks, checklists, roles, references, templates, adapters, bundles, README and SKILL.md. Permit only bounded ARCHIVE, QUOTE and EVIDENCE contexts identified by the manifest context allowlist; inspect adjacent active text and generated copies too. |

Independently re-fetch at least 3 acted-on sources or 20 percent rounded up, whichever is larger. Confirm each receipt excerpt appears on the live page and record URL, tool, outcome and supporting page text. Any excerpt mismatch is a finding that keeps research acceptance BLOCKED. Reject missing URL/access, access dates before ASK DATE, and stamped-but-unrevalidated material; treat confident undated claims as findings. Coordinator records those findings and keeps dependent research/ship acceptance BLOCKED until Researcher corrects evidence and the normal reproduction/disposition checks pass. |
