The currentness of every major Warconomy data surface in one read-only matrix. 10 surfaces tracked; 6 have an on-demand refresh command. Each row names the source, the latest data date, the last source check (read from the committed snapshot's accessed date), the cadence and an honest status — so lagged-but-accurate official data reads as accurate, not stale. This page changes nothing; it tells a maintainer what to refresh and when.
- 10 surfaces; statuses: 2 watch · 2 monthly · 3 annual · 1 citation-only · 1 scenario · 1 editorial.
- Latest data date and last-checked date are read from the committed snapshots.
- Refresh commands are on-demand; the default build never touches the network.
- Machine-readable at /operator/freshness/data.json.

Source endpoint check (5/7 reachable)
On-demand availability + latest-date probe of the source endpoints (npm run current:check), last run June 25, 2026. Records reachability and dates only — never article text, never a claim. "Unreachable" means it could not be checked then, not that data is wrong.
| Source | Reachable | HTTP | Latest | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Manual setup:
- ReliefWeb v2 requires a free, manually-approved appname (register at https://apidoc.reliefweb.int/parameters#appname). Until approved it returns 403; it is cited as a 'watch on' source only.
- USGS pages block automated requests; mineral production/reserve figures stay citation-only and need a reviewed source packet.
- EIA / FRED would need an optional, uncommitted env key (not yet wired); they are not required for any build.
