    limitations:
    - Original summaries and links only; no upstream source response or snapshot is retained.
    - A national discovery handoff locates the current route but does not establish a leaf rule, eligibility
      condition, cost or deadline.
    - Jurisdictions, providers and exceptions remain separate even where labels are similar.
    - Specialist review is required before legal, clinical, safeguarding or high-impact operational claims
      are release-grade.
