Validation rules

These decide whether a Cork source can support an issue claim or only discovery research.

OpenValidation ruleOfficial/public-record routes can support civic claims only when the current URL resolves and the page clearly belongs to the named authority or operator.OpenValidation ruleTown, venue and business routes are discovery signals only; civic, planning, safety and service claims still need an official/public-record source.OpenValidation ruleAny source with navigation-heavy extraction output must stay in manual review until the fetcher captures dated item content instead of utility links.OpenValidation ruleEvery promoted issue item needs original URL, source label, checkedAt timestamp, place relevance and editorial status.OpenValidation ruleRe-check manually before launch because Irish public-sector URLs and local event pages move without warning.
