Evidence layer
Probative surfaces brought into scope by this page
This page does more than point to governance files. It is also anchored to surfaces that make observation, traceability, fidelity, and audit more reconstructible. Their order below makes the minimal evidence chain explicit.

Opposable base for identity, scope, roles, and negations that must survive synthesis.
- Makes provable
- The reference corpus against which fidelity can be evaluated.

- Neither that a system already consults it nor that an observed response stays faithful to it.

- Before any observation, test, audit, or correction.
Citation accessibility
Citation accessibility is the condition in which a source and its useful passages can be reached, rendered and reused by the systems expected to cite them.
It is narrower than general availability. A page may load for a browser and still be weakly accessible for citation if the useful claim is hidden, blocked, delayed, unstable, non-canonical or disconnected from the rest of the source environment.
What it tests
Citation accessibility tests whether the URL is stable, whether the relevant passage is visible, whether the source can be rendered, whether preview directives are compatible with citation expectations and whether the page can be reached through internal and external routes.
Governance implication
Access policy should be intentional. Organizations may choose to block certain systems, but they should not expect blocked or hidden passages to become reliable citations. The access decision is therefore part of source governance, not only technical SEO.
