Why store the final URL?
It records the page reached after redirects instead of a temporary search or tracking address.
Use one row to produce a portable source card that another reviewer can reproduce.
A portable provenance card that keeps the final source, exact option wording, observation date, and unresolved claims together.
Quick FAQ
It records the page reached after redirects instead of a temporary search or tracking address.
Exact wording makes later comparisons possible when size, color, or version labels change.
Its source, option, or observation may change after the recorded date.
Record fields
For this provenance card, each field preserves a different part of the audit trail so a later reviewer can distinguish evidence from an unresolved question.
Review path
This path protects row identity first, then assembles a portable source card; the order makes a later source change visible instead of silently overwriting it.
Decision states
Decision state 1: direct source must remain explicit in the saved record.
Decision state 2: redirected source must remain explicit in the saved record.
Decision state 3: historical reference must remain explicit in the saved record.
Decision state 4: unresolved origin must remain explicit in the saved record.
Reusable output
A second reviewer should be able to retrace the source, compare the saved fields, and understand why the decision remains settled or open.
Required evidence 1: final source url must remain explicit in the saved record.
Required evidence 2: exact visible option must remain explicit in the saved record.
Required evidence 3: observed fact and date must remain explicit in the saved record.
Required evidence 4: open claim to recheck must remain explicit in the saved record.
Stop rules
A narrow unresolved state is more useful than a confident field assembled from mismatched evidence.
Keep the a portable source card dated and tied to one exact row.
