  "dateRule": "decisionDate is the court decision date. firstObservedAt and lastObservedAt are i6eal observation times, not publication times.",
  "lifecycleRule": "Not observed means absent from the latest complete lexical run. It does not mean that no AI case law exists or that the official source deleted the decision.",

  "automationRule": "No generative AI, fuzzy entity matching, semantic classification, legal outcome scoring or inferred precedent ranking is used.",
  "licenseBoundary": "The official API documents free access but does not state a named dataset republication license. Public artifacts therefore contain official metadata and bounded exact excerpts, not complete decision texts.",
