Staleness triage

A read-only triage of what to re-check first: the oldest values by review date and as-of date, source pages due for review, the sample-vs-live split, and manual work by urgency. Computed deterministically; changes no values. Stale means re-check recommended, not wrong.

A prioritized re-check list computed from the dataset's review dates and source cadences. 54 live values, 5 labeled sample; 5 overdue and 15 stale for re-check. This page changes nothing — it tells a maintainer which values and source pages to look at first, and lists the manual/blocked work by urgency. 'Stale' means a re-check is recommended against the source cadence, not that a value is wrong.

  • Review status: 28 current · 6 due soon · 5 overdue · 15 stale.
  • Oldest-reviewed and oldest-as-of lists point at what to verify next.
  • Manual/blocked work ordered now → next → later.
  • Machine-readable at /operator/staleness/data.json.
