Source-only generation remains the production default.
AI-assisted packet summaries are intended when configured, cost-capped, source-bound, and backed by source-only fallback.
Synthetic preview pages use synthetic examples only.
The Morning Sheet preview is synthetic layout-only and does not collect community content.
The joyful visual layer is presentation-only and does not add live workflows.
The role architecture preview is planning-only and does not create accounts or grant access.
The access readiness preview is planning-only and does not enforce authentication.
The portal preview is synthetic-only and does not create accounts, log users in, or collect submissions.
The Sixth Sense is live on the new Pages project, with legacy deployment kept as infrastructure context only.
The protected sandbox paths are manually guarded by Cloudflare Access and still contain no sensitive workflow data.
AI-assisted packet generation is intended only for public/source-backed packet candidates and keeps source-only fallback.
AI budget governance uses a $15 monthly budget, a $12 monthly hard cap, a $0.50 daily soft cap, and a $0.25 single-run hard cap.
The app does not collect or store resident/community submissions.
The internal packet-history endpoint is token-protected and limited to generated public/source-backed packet history.
Future sensitive workflows require authentication, retention policy, staff review, and privacy approval before implementation.

Public sources can fail, change markup, return stale data, or be temporarily unavailable.
Cloudflare D1 packet-history runtime writes require explicit endpoint URL, token, mode, and D1 binding configuration.
D1 sandbox/staging activation requires placeholder-free secrets kept outside Git.
The D1 binding name ODYSSEY_DB and D1 database name odyssey_packet_history remain internal infrastructure names for now.
Recovery & Public Health may be empty when current sources do not pass safety rules.
AI-assisted mode improves wording only from source-backed candidates and is not an independent fact source.
Preview routes are planning/demo surfaces, not protected staff tools.

Keep live submission and staff-review work blocked until institutional access-control, retention, audit-log, and privacy requirements are approved.
