Community participation

Audience sentiment, comments, reports, and member publishing are deliberately separate from evidence-based research. Public reading never requires an account.

Read-only development state

These values are representative fixtures for validating presentation and aggregation—not collected user votes. Live mutations remain disabled until Clerk, the transactional database, verified webhooks, moderation, backup restoration, and authorization tests are configured.

Method: one latest active vote per verified eligible account and stable technology ID; suspended, deleted, duplicate, fraudulent, held, and moderated votes are excluded under reviewable rules. Individual choices remain private. No demographic or location weighting is used.

Authenticated comments

Discussion with durable moderation

Native comments use sanitized Markdown, bounded replies, edit history, stable permalinks, reports, public edit markers, structured moderation states, and `ugc nofollow` links. Comments remain community statements—not citations.

Feature flag: off until integration acceptance

Member publishing

Private draft to reviewed Markdown

Members draft and preview privately, lock a review revision, pass evidence, rights, safety, neutrality, disclosure, and injection checks, then receive a draft GitHub pull request. Only an editor-approved merge publishes.

Feature flag: off until licensing and moderation acceptance

Resilience

Research stays readable

A Clerk, database, moderation, or webhook outage disables protected writes and shows a clear read-only state. It does not take static research, news, citations, or comparisons offline.
