Daily standards scan, 2026-11-11. The rotating citation slice was security (25 pages, 74 URLs). I checked the HTTP status, final URL and page <title> for each one against the citation's label.

What changed

  • clear-site-data, x-content-type-options: https://owasp.org/www-project-secure-headers/ now gets to the page only after three 308 redirects. Both pages now cite the final URL, https://owasp.org/projects/secure-headers-project.
  • referrer-policy: TR/referrer-policy/ was labelled "W3C Editor's Draft", but it is the W3C Candidate Recommendation of 26 January 2017, so it is now labelled that way. The web.dev source was labelled "A new default Referrer-Policy for Chrome", but the page at that URL is "Referer and Referrer-Policy best practices", so the label now uses that title.
  • permissions-policy: the source labelled "web.dev — Permissions Policy" lives on developer.chrome.com and is titled "Control browser features with Permissions Policy". I relabelled it and left the URL alone.

These are label and URL fixes only. No claims, statuses or updated dates change, so there's no changelog entry.

Checked, no change needed

  • The rfc-editor.org/rfc/N → /info/rfcN/ redirects are expected, and the URLs we cite are still the right ones.
  • The w3.org/TR/* pages return 403 to curl. I read them with WebFetch instead, and the labels on CSP3, Fetch Metadata, Permissions Policy, Trusted Types, SRI and Clear Site Data (all Working Drafts), Mixed Content (CRD) and WebAuthn L3 (REC, 25 Aug 2026) all match.

npm run build passes. I didn't redeploy the MCP Worker; that happens through the Action after merge.

…o source labels

- clear-site-data, x-content-type-options: owasp.org/www-project-secure-headers/
  now reaches the page only after three 308s; cite the final URL.
- referrer-policy: TR/referrer-policy is a Candidate Recommendation, not an
  Editor's Draft; the web.dev source is 'Referer and Referrer-Policy best
  practices', not 'A new default Referrer-Policy for Chrome'.
- permissions-policy: the source labelled web.dev is on Chrome for Developers.
