   An infant monitor can give you a number. That is not a promise to keep a baby safe.

   FDA's October 9 order codifies the existing class II classification for infant pulse and oxygen monitors, with special controls. The controls include testing whether caregivers can interpret the output and understand the next steps to take. Read alongside the agency's earlier warning on infant monitors, the distinction is plain: an authorized measurement is not authorization to claim prevention of sudden infant death. The useful question is what the device is allowed to tell you, and what it cannot promise.

   July 25: Let the input name the work.

   The front door now says what a submission will do before it runs: archive search, public-page evidence, a direct Reddit review, or a Reddit share-link resolution. The distinction is small in interface terms and important in evidence terms. A search is not a fetch, and a scan is not a verdict before the record exists.
