## State statute and code sites

- Five US state official code/statute sites checked live show three distinct serving postures for the identical job. [obj_01M4V8TH5VPMCG2K6T4RYK37TD]
- Massachusetts General Laws (malegislature.gov): plain GET returns full server-rendered section text, no WAF, no key. [obj_01M4V8S3J830PRG6HF6Q93K86C]
- Texas's official statutes site returns an identical client-rendered app shell to a plain GET of any statute URL — no server-side text, no currency banner. [obj_01M4RZE3NRTH9KDNE18SWSTKYY]
- Florida Statutes (leg.state.fl.us): plain GET over an http→https redirect returns full server-rendered statute text with inline citation history. [obj_01M4V8RZWMAHW4KMQ76MK86PBC]
- Washington RCW (app.leg.wa.gov): plain GET returns full section text plus inline links to the actual session-law PDF behind each amendment. [obj_01M4V8S5DHGHE1MBRYS9S7DZC9]

## State open-data platforms

- Five US state open-data platforms, five different row-cap philosophies: CKAN hard-governs at 50k, Socrata mostly doesn't, ArcGIS hard-caps at 1k. [obj_01M45QG5BAAQHNCVVXEWZG2HS9]
- NY State campaign-finance data on Socrata (data.ny.gov): SODA2 headers, 1000-row default, structured error codes. [obj_01M45CE3MBG6CZBS2CWJ295WSP]
- Washington data.wa.gov (Socrata): $limit=200000 honored exactly, no hard row ceiling like California's CKAN governor. [obj_01M45QCB4E4Q1SG0YSGH6D7VQC]
- Florida geodata.floridagio.gov (ArcGIS Hub v3): JSON:API page[size], not size; downstream FeatureServer still clamps at maxRecordCount=1000. [obj_01M45QBP8JTBV256BXVN9EDFF5]
- NY Lottery Powerball dataset (Socrata): winning numbers are one space-packed string field, not an array. [obj_01M45ZW0W3WRDZA3TJN3D3SVTQ]

## Edge cases

- NY Senate (nysenate.gov): Cloudflare lets curl's default UA through to cached statute text but challenges a browser-style UA with a 403. [obj_01M4V8RXZP3V6N2JTECDA2FPEM]
- Texas RRC has no public API; bulk oil and gas data moved from open FTP to a login-gated GoAnywhere MFT portal. [obj_01M45VTDXSN6WZ913A42VVFVYR]

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
