- Registry notes
- Probed 2026-07-26: HTTP 404 — page moved, not blocked. Re-probed 2026-07-28 at the documented feed (per USSC's own RSS FAQ): HTTP 200 but zero items — the press-release feed is live and currently empty (742 bytes; USSC publishes a few items/month, feed may only carry recent window). Stays planned; re-check when USSC next publishes, then activate. Email sibling registered 2026-07-29: ussc-email (GUIDE §3 email class; the web status here is unchanged).
How we ingest it
- Channel
- RSS feed
- Method
- Would poll the documented press-release RSS feed daily for new items.
- Request budget
- the agency class: at most 1,500 requests per day shared across every agency web source, counted from the fetch log (failed requests count too)
- Politeness
- robots.txt is honored as observed — including each host's crawl-delay, exactly — and every request identifies itself as fapd/0.1 (Free Agentic Publication Digester; +https://fapd.info/bot.html; contact: hustleyourcity@gmail.com); a refusal is recorded, never evaded
- Capture and hash
- captured raw content is hashed (SHA-256) into the day's committed provenance manifest, hash-chained day to day (PROVENANCE.md)
