Data and advice boundaries
Public pages and API records share the same promoted public dataset.
- Public pages and public JSON should remain consistent because both are built from the promoted public release dataset.
- Original-language evidence is canonical. Translations and display summaries are auxiliary.
- Confidence is separate from reviewState; reviewState describes workflow status.
- Tracker metadata is open licensed. Official source documents, page text, PDFs, and other source materials retain their original rights and terms.
- This tracker is not legal advice, not academic integrity advice, and not an official university statement unless a linked source is the university's own official page.
