Bench method MT–01 Deterministic verdicts
Methodology
The workbench reads published protocol records. This sheet separates the calculation from everything it cannot establish.
- Dataset
- 1.1.0
- Coverage
- 2025-07
- Live probe
- Unavailable
Method / output
What a verdict is
The workbench compares the recorded network protocol of two published, high-confidence releases. Equal protocols yield protocol match; unequal protocols yielddirect mismatch. Missing, unsupported, or verification-hold inputs yield unknown. The function is deterministic and shipped with the page, so the same inputs always produce the same verdict offline.
Limits / explicit
What a verdict is not
- Not a login promise: authentication, allowlists, mods, and proxies are separate constraints.
- Not a bridge detector: translation layers are server-side and cannot be inferred from version numbers. Averified bridge tier exists in the design but is deliberately unreachable until authenticated, first-party inventory evidence exists.
- Not a live observation: nothing on this site pings arbitrary servers today.
Record / confidence
Confidence tiers
Every dataset row carries published with high confidence or verification-hold. A held row remains readable and stays out of the sitemap, but cannot produce a positive or negative class. Coverage ends at 2025-07; missing rows render as Unknown, never as a guess.
Unavailable / live state
What this static desk cannot observe
OlderCraft does not perform Server List Ping requests. A safe live checker would need public-hostname rules, private-range rejection, rebinding defenses, strict timeouts, response caps, and an explicit freshness window; none of those observations exist on this property. Server availability, reported software, bridge inventory, and current protocol therefore remain Unavailable rather than borrowing confidence from the static release record.
Dates / substantive
Freshness rules
Dates on this site are content dates, not build dates. The release record updates only when a source diff is verified; page lastmod values change only for substantive edits. When a fact expires, the page keeps the last-known-good value with its date and labels it stale rather than silently refreshing it.
