+The sealed-catalog lane is one command:

+```sh
+mr-data catalog search "county unemployment rate monthly" --format csv --json
+```
+
+It ranks the catalog's own entries against the question, best first, and returns every one of them
+with the disposition its facts earned — an entry marked `refused` is still a finding, because
+"the catalog holds this and cannot vouch for it" and "the catalog holds nothing" are different
+answers. `--format csv` is part of that judgement and not a filter over it: it states the one format
+the question requires — name it once — so an entry that does not declare it comes back ranked,
+`refused` and with `filters_match` false, rather than withheld. A hit is metadata somebody else published: it is evidence that a dataset with that title
+and those declared formats exists at that address, and it is not the source, not a rights decision
+and not an acquisition. Read the entry's record address and confirm the resource yourself.
+
+Be honest about the coverage. The catalog holds **one provider — Data.gov — and only part of it**:
+the sweep was capped well below the provider's full record count, and most entries declare no data
+format at all, which is why a plausible question regularly returns `catalog_no_admitted_source`.
