Preserve the report
The manifest binds every report filename and SHA-256. Corrections, conflicts, and version updates do not overwrite the governed body.
Research source map
Separate preserved claims from current implementation review.
The governed Markdown reports remain exact source evidence. This derived, checksum-governed layer records selected claim support, standards currency, conflicts, replacements, implementation impact, and required follow-up without silently rewriting a report or assigning a source-quality score.
Quick answer
What does the Machine Tradecraft research source map do?
It keeps exact governed report bodies separate from a checksum-governed review plane that records significant claims, current source and standards status, direct or partial support, conflicts, non-establishment, implementation impact, and required follow-up without assigning source-quality scores or making runtime network requests.
- Reports
- 31 governed reports covered.
- Claim reviews
- 39 bounded significant claims.
- Reviewed sources
- 63 authority-labelled sources.
Method
One exact source layer, one separate review layer
Every claim record points to a stable report heading and one or more reviewed sources. Current conclusions live here; the original report remains unchanged.
Classify the relationship
A review records direct support, partial support, conflict or qualification, or that a source does not establish the claim.
Record currency
Standards and publications are labelled current, living, final, draft, preprint, stable, historical, superseded, or mixed.
Route the next proof
Implementation impact and exact follow-up identify when browser, parser, model, cryptographic, registry, DNS, legal, or organizational verification remains necessary.
Release-time research, offline runtime. Source metadata was reviewed during release work. The public site reads only the local manifest and makes no source, registry, trust-service, DNS, model, or browser request.
Claim traceability
1 matching claim reviews
Filters use a normal GET form and remain useful without JavaScript. Filter combinations are noindex while the canonical unfiltered map remains indexable.
Source registry
63 authority-labelled resources
Labels explain the source’s role and publication state. They do not rank credibility or imply that every source supports every report claim.

Review vocabulary
Descriptive labels, not scores
Directly supports
The cited source directly establishes the bounded paraphrase under the declared version and scope.
Partially supports
The source supports a narrower mechanism or result but does not justify the full breadth of the report wording.
Conflicts or qualifies
Current standards, final publications, or implementation evidence materially qualify or contradict the preserved wording.
Does not establish
The cited material is relevant context but does not establish the stated empirical, legal, or philosophical conclusion.
BoundariesNo silent rewrite
Current review does not replace exact source evidence.
This release reviews a bounded set of important claims and selected sources. It does not establish that every unreviewed sentence is correct, that every external URL will remain available, that one source category is inherently superior, or that release-time URL resolution proves continuing publication authority.
For consequential decisions, inspect the original report, the current source, the implementation-owned review, and the named external authority together.
