Each `src` is a page that prints the event's date, read when the event was logged. A second, independent read went back to that page and checked the date, the claim, `mode` (assist, agent, always_on), `status` (announced, preview, beta, live) and `human` (what a person still does) against it. `verified` says what it found: `confirmed` (the event held as logged) or `corrected` (the second read fixed the date, source, wording or labels to match the source). `read` gives when we read the sources. A `note`, where there is one, says how the source dates or qualifies the event. No date is inferred.",
