What this page can prove

Current enough to act on.
Specific enough to correct.

“Legal as of” is a date, not a mood. Official rules own legality. Community evidence can expose confusion, but it cannot overrule the publisher. Commerce availability is checked separately and never decides the editorial verdict.
