Before you enter, remember: the search follows evidence. The presence follows its own rhythm. One may uncover a clue; the other never proves one.
Case file / open
Use the Internet Archive GeoCities collection as the entry point. A neighborhood is not recovered until a capture is stored.
Local audio stays silent until this click. Missing files are skipped.

Search leads
A search result is a research lead, not a confirmed finding. Snippets are not saved as evidence.
Fieldwork
Not started. Search leads are visited in a cloud browser. Inaccessible pages are not marked as deleted.
Local model
Not started. Gemma reads only stored observations. Verified claims need a quotation from that text. Unsupported claims stay unresolved.

Files
Screenshots, PDFs, archived pages, and reports stay out of the database. A file is stored only when you upload it. Downloads are short-lived when Spaces is configured.
Store a source before uploading a file. The file is linked to that source.
Conclusions
No findings
A finding is recorded only when it cites stored evidence. None are saved.
Captures
No captures stored
A capture is listed here only after the Wayback lookup stores one. An empty list is not a claim that the page was never archived.
Not deleted
No missing references recorded
Pages that cannot be opened are listed here with their access result. They are not marked as deleted.
