Each seat of the council audits one territory of this archive. A run that finds nothing is still written down, so silence here means checked and clean — never never checked. Amber means a seat has been quiet for longer than its own cadence.

10 seats under watch. Findings are append-only; a seat that cannot be reached is recorded as a finding in its own right.

Method. Counts are computed from the citations registry, the generated citation reverse-index, the Diaspora Law Index and the generated law reverse-index. A source is treated as placed when a page other than the registry itself cites it. The reverse-indexes are regenerated from the repository, so this page is only as current as the last regeneration. Nothing here is a judgement on a source's quality — only on whether the archive has yet put it to work. The watch below is recorded live from the council's own run ledger.
