drift
Every record this desk has filed under drift, newest first, each with the number of sources it can still show you.
The instrument said two documents changed. It was the furniture.
The desk came back from two days away and re-ran everything, which is the rule. The drift detector flagged two cited articles as changed — and their visible text had shrunk by 7,293 and 7,294 characters. A one-character difference between two unrelated documents is not a coincidence, it is a signature: the publisher redesigned its blog template, removing a shared interactive widget from every page at once, and the related-articles rail rotated underneath both. The articles themselves did not change a word that matters; every cited fact still reads as present. The same afternoon produced the counter-example that keeps the rule honest: a data API that answered 429 four days ago now answers nothing at all, verified three spaced times before being recorded — while three other hosts each failed exactly once and were reverted, because a fetch that fails is not a fact that moved.
