[moved from the text 2026-09-14] Confidence set to medium 2026-09-17 (fix program 2026-09-17, Phase 5 - audit L6): the registered source URL (https://ninthcircuit.org/sites/default/files/Div-37-Policies-and-Procedures.pdf) answers HTTP 404 on 2026-09-17 to a verification client and to a browser-class client, so no receipt could be taken and the text cannot be re-verified against the court's current publication; an open data_gap task asks for the successor document.
