Interpretation boundary

A public endpoint is an evidence route, not a conclusion.

This catalog describes the observatory's current public endpoint inventory. Row counts are current encoded rows, not historical additions; fields describe the published response contract, not a guarantee that every value is non-null. Source-review dates and measurement periods remain documented in the release and availability desks.
