How this record was checked, and what is doubtful about it

Used for one sentence that nhs.uk does not carry and that this platform's cancer layer turns on: that surgery and some other treatments depend on how well the healthy parts of the liver are working. The acquiring agent reported that no publication date was displayed; that was WRONG - the page shows 'Last updated: 16 February 2026', confirmed by direct fetch, and the record was seeded with the 0000 sentinel until the validators refused to let it support a published claim. The sentinel rule, built in Phase 3 after a guessed year in POL196, caught it.
