# Current Source Candidate Review V01

Issue: #223

Date: 2026-06-24

Status: candidate review evidence only. This document does not enable production current retrieval.

## Objective

Review a small set of official or documentation-grade public sources for future Package + current context production enablement. Record source eligibility, source ownership, trust and freshness posture, claim boundaries, and reasons to accept, defer, or reject each source as a candidate.

## Selection Criteria

Candidate sources were selected only when they met all of these criteria:

- public HTTPS page with no login observed during review
- official source owner or documentation-grade source owner
- narrow allowed origin and path prefix can be recorded
- text-like content type suitable for the current `allowlisted_public_fetch` adapter
- relevant to package-supported questions about AI risk, secure LLM application design, token and cost accounting, or runtime platform limits
- useful only as current/public context, not as approved package authority

The review did not use random blogs, news, social posts, forums, marketing pages, or broad web search results as candidate entries.

## Governance Boundary

The candidate registry is not production configuration. Every accepted entry remains `candidate_only`, `retrieval_enabled: false`, and `not_approved`.

Before any production enablement, a later issue must provide owner approval, deployment configuration evidence outside the repository, production smoke evidence, and rollback evidence.

## Live Public Availability Checks

All four candidate URLs were checked on 2026-06-24 with non-authenticated HTTP requests. Each returned HTTP `200`, an HTML content type, and zero redirects.

| Candidate ID | HTTP status | Content type | Redirect count | Retrieval safety note |
|---|---:|---|---:|---|
| `nist-ai-rmf-public-framework-candidate` | 200 | `text/html; charset=UTF-8` | 0 | Public HTML page, no login observed, exact path prefix. |
| `owasp-genai-llm-top-10-candidate` | 200 | `text/html; charset=UTF-8` | 0 | Public HTML page, no login observed, project path prefix. |
| `openai-api-pricing-docs-candidate` | 200 | `text/html; charset=utf-8` | 0 | Public HTML page, no login observed, exact docs path prefix. |
| `cloudflare-workers-limits-docs-candidate` | 200 | `text/html` | 0 | Public HTML page, no login observed, exact docs path prefix. |

## Candidate Evaluations

### NIST AI Risk Management Framework

- Allowed origin: `https://www.nist.gov`
- Allowed path prefix: `/itl/ai-risk-management-framework`
- Claim boundary: `current_public_context_only_not_package_authority`
- Likely use case: comparison and interpretation for AI risk management language.
- Expected claim usefulness: helps compare package guidance with public AI risk management framing.
- Limitations and bias risks: voluntary framework context can be mistaken for policy approval or enterprise authorization if source lanes are not preserved.
- Suitability: comparison yes, interpretation yes, implementation screening limited, decision support limited.
- Candidate-only reason: owner review is still required before any production registry use.
- Defer or reject criteria: reject if the page requires login, redirects outside the allowed path, changes ownership, becomes stale for the claim, or is used to approve tools, vendors, data classes, workflows, production use, or policy.

### OWASP Top 10 for LLMs and Gen AI Apps

- Allowed origin: `https://genai.owasp.org`
- Allowed path prefix: `/llm-top-10/`
- Claim boundary: `current_public_context_only_not_package_authority`
- Likely use case: interpretation and implementation screening for secure LLM application risks.
- Expected claim usefulness: helps compare package source-grounding boundaries with public LLM security risk categories.
- Limitations and bias risks: community project material may change and may be broader than this package's field guidance scope.
- Suitability: comparison yes, interpretation yes, implementation screening yes, decision support limited.
- Candidate-only reason: owner review is still required before any production registry use.
- Defer or reject criteria: reject if the page redirects outside the allowed path, becomes inaccessible, changes publication posture, or is treated as approval for a specific implementation.

### OpenAI API Pricing

- Allowed origin: `https://developers.openai.com`
- Allowed path prefix: `/api/docs/pricing`
- Claim boundary: `current_public_reference_only_not_package_authority`
- Likely use case: token and cost accounting reference for questions where package guidance already supports the answer.
- Expected claim usefulness: helps screen whether package tokenomics guidance needs current vendor pricing context.
- Limitations and bias risks: vendor pricing is time-sensitive, provider-specific, and not neutral industry evidence.
- Suitability: comparison yes, interpretation limited, implementation screening yes, decision support limited.
- Candidate-only reason: owner review is still required before any production registry use.
- Defer or reject criteria: reject if pricing moves behind login, content type becomes unsuitable, redirect behavior changes, or pricing is used as a billing guarantee or vendor endorsement.

### Cloudflare Workers Limits

- Allowed origin: `https://developers.cloudflare.com`
- Allowed path prefix: `/workers/platform/limits/`
- Claim boundary: `current_public_reference_only_not_package_authority`
- Likely use case: implementation screening for server-side adapter and proof-surface runtime limits.
- Expected claim usefulness: helps compare package runtime guidance with current public platform limits.
- Limitations and bias risks: platform limits vary by plan and time, and documentation does not approve this repository's production configuration.
- Suitability: comparison yes, interpretation limited, implementation screening yes, decision support limited.
- Candidate-only reason: owner review is still required before any production registry use.
- Defer or reject criteria: reject if the page redirects outside the allowed path, becomes stale for runtime-limit claims, or is used to approve Cloudflare configuration changes.

## Accepted As Candidate-Only Entries

The four reviewed sources are recorded in `current_source_registry_candidates_v01.json` as candidate-only entries.

Every entry has:

- `approval_status: "candidate_only"`
- `approved_by: "not_approved"`
- `approved_date: "not_approved"`
- `review_due_date: "before_production_enablement"`
- `retrieval_enabled: false`
- a claim boundary ending in `not_package_authority`

## Deferred Or Rejected Entries

No named source was deferred or rejected in this v01 review. The selection deliberately excluded blogs, news, social posts, forums, marketing pages, broad search results, login-required URLs, private URLs, and broad-domain entries without path constraints.

## Source-Quality Notes

The accepted entries are public and official or documentation-grade. They are still not owner-approved for production use. Trust labels remain `candidate_owner_review_required`.

## Trust And Freshness Notes

NIST and OWASP entries use `periodic_review_required` because their public guidance changes less frequently than vendor pricing or platform limits. OpenAI pricing and Cloudflare limits use `time_sensitive_review_required` because costs and runtime limits can change quickly.

## Claim-Boundary Notes

Current/public candidates may support only the current context lane. They must not override the package, resolve package/current conflicts by themselves, approve a vendor or tool, approve production use, or stand in for owner validation.

## Production Enablement Non-Goals

This issue does not:

- enable production current retrieval
- modify Cloudflare environment variables or production config values
- modify Cloudflare Access or WAF
- add browser-side current-source fetches
- add arbitrary web search
- add user-provided URL retrieval
- add durable telemetry, database, vector store, Supabase, uploads, or session attachments
- expose secrets
- promote current/public sources into approved package authority
- authorize `codex-automerge`

## Residual Risks

- Public pages can change after review.
- Time-sensitive vendor/platform sources can drift before a later enablement issue.
- HTML extraction can lose page structure, tables, or caveats.
- Reader-facing answers may over-weight current/public citations unless source lanes remain explicit.
- Owner approval and production smoke are still required before any source is enabled.
