Freshness is field-specific
A new page date does not prove every number on it has been rechecked. We retain the source date, evidence scope and fields affected by an update.

Archive the official note, compare changed fields, trace affected entities and tools, then revise the explanation. Calculator defaults must be revalidated before being re-enabled.
