The shared forge
Dataset modules never reinvent authentication, metering, errors, pagination, or version behavior. The shared gateway owns the developer contract while every record remains traceable to an immutable source snapshot.
AI may help normalize or explain a field, but it never becomes the factual authority.
Each API has its own contract history. Each dataset release separately reports its source version and refresh date.
Validated releases become active atomically. Prior releases remain available for rollback and reproducibility.
Connectors expose what is included, what is missing, and when every source last succeeded.
Dataset ledger
All 35 scoped datasets live here with their sources, dependencies, cadence, risk, and implementation state. Every catalog entry currently has an active source-backed release.
