Source licensing review evidence, 2026-09-27/28 pass

Per-source evidence for the delegated licensing review pass recorded in sdlc/records/2026-09-27-source-licensing-review-pass.md. Every row names the URL checked, the access date, and the finding. The correct split across the 48 sources due 2026-03-20: 42 unchanged, 2 changed (COSMIC, CPIC), 4 unverifiable (CIViC, Enrichr, WikiPathways, and PharmGKB — the last reconciled to verified on 2026-09-28 against the CPIC page, leaving 3 open). JS-walled pages were read from their live JS bundles, which are the citable sources for those rows.

Open items: CIViC, Enrichr, and WikiPathways keep reviewed_on 2026-03-20. The guard warns after 300 days — 2027-01-15, not December — and fails on 2027-03-21. Owner of the retry: the biomcp queue, trigger the 2027-01-15 warning or any browser-capable session before it. Until verified, the 2027-03 crossing is NOT handled for these three; the pass handles it for the other 45.
