Changes to the institutional record.
Material changes to records, methodology, and source coverage are logged here. Quiet corrections are how confidence becomes folklore.
2026.08.25Interaction revision
Feasible-area inspection
- Reduced the default global cohort to eight probes.
- Added map pan, wheel zoom, zoom controls, and a world-view reset.
- Kept the complete feasible intersection visible while moving its constituent RTT circles behind the target-area control.
- Added per-source intermediate-hop refinement using RIPE IPmap candidate locations.
- Kept inferred hop locations separate from conservative target constraints.
2026.08.24Experimental instrument
Traceroute geolocation lab
- Added a live Globalping traceroute map with direct browser API access.
- Added a Consortium-host DNS resolution step that locks one target IP before probe selection.
- Replaced the inferred terminus with the intersection of all finite light-speed RTT disks.
- Retained non-responsive probes as explicitly unbounded observations.
- Added per-probe minimum-RTT priors and best-effort same-probe reruns.
- Linked the prototype to case file LV-01.
2026.08Methodology v1.0
Case-file release
- Introduced mechanism-centric case files for the observatory.
- Replaced the aggregate assumption score with three descriptive measures.
- Added stable record links, source review dates, and correction status.
- Added proposal nominations while retaining private briefings.
- Added embedded off-switch and inference-verification records.
2026.08-alphaInitial archive
