  "identifiers": "`id` is stable: it is authored in the source sheet and survives title edits. Store it. `canonical_url` contains a title-derived slug that changes when the title does; `aliases` lists identifiers a project was previously reachable by.",
  "freshness": "There are no per-record dates: the source carries none, so incremental sync is not possible. `version` is a content hash -- re-fetch and compare it to detect any change. HTTP Last-Modified and ETag date the file. The catalogue is rebuilt manually, not on a schedule.",
  "caveats": [
    "Membership is derived from link presence, not authored: a project is published only while it has a working link or an access note, so records can appear and disappear. Absence is not a retraction.",
    "`license` is null for roughly half of projects, meaning no license was recorded. Do not infer permission from a null.",
    "`content` fields marked provenance: \"auto-enriched\" were machine-drafted from the linked resources, not written or verified by the project team.",
    "`contact` is free text and usually contains a personal email address. It is published so users can reach the project team about their work; please do not use it for bulk collection or unrelated outreach."
