auto_publishable:
  - stratum: registry
    media_type: trial-record
    condition: ClinicalTrials.gov or equivalent registry entries with a registry identifier; bibliographic facts only.
  - stratum: clinical
    media_type: journal-article
    condition: Bibliographic admission only (venue, date, identifier); claim-level admission still requires review.
review_required:
  - stratum: community
    scope: Everything. Community material is admitted as venue-level patterns, never individual posts or named posters, and never as health recommendations.
  - stratum: historical
    scope: Everything. Historical and folk records must carry provenance tiering and the documented-not-endorsed rule.
  - stratum: clinical
    scope: Any claim-level record, practice assessment, or risk annotation.
  - stratum: gray
    scope: Everything; preprints are admitted provisionally and must be marked emerging.
  - stratum: registry
    scope: Any interpretation beyond the registry's own reported fields.
rules:
  - id: no-medical-advice
    text: The index describes evidence and provenance; it never recommends, prescribes, or discourages a specific course of care for an individual.
  - id: venue-level-community
    text: Community evidence is recorded by venue. No individual poster, username, or verbatim post is recorded.
  - id: documented-not-endorsed
    text: Folk and historical practices are listed as documented history. Listing a practice records that it happened, not that it works.
  - id: subtype-scoping
    text: Every record declares its subtype scope. hEDS findings are never silently generalized to vEDS or other monogenic types.
  - id: criteria-era-tagging
    text: Records carry the diagnostic-criteria era of their sources so pre-2017 claims are not read as modern nosology.
  - id: corroboration-declared
    text: Records with more than one kind of evidence must state whether that evidence is convergent, from one underlying source, contested, or refuted. Disagreement is published.
  - id: risk-visible
    text: Practices with documented harm potential carry a visible risk note rather than silent omission.
  - id: append-only-ledger
    text: The log of research runs and decisions is append-only. A correction adds a new entry and marks a wrong record refuted rather than silently rewriting it.
  - id: emerging-needs-date
    text: Emerging, contested, and community-signal records must carry a reassessment date; undated emerging claims are not published.
reassessment_days:
  emerging: 60
  contested: 90
  community_signal: 90
  established: 365
