What the courts are telling us
The candidate packet includes source URLs, dates, geography, missing-evidence flags, and sponsor status. Deterministic code still owns freshness, duplicates, rights, privacy, thresholds, and publication authority.

Practical takeaways from the field desk
• Closed labels
• 0.95 frozen threshold
• No browsing or publishing authority
