# Freshness boundaries

> **Fictional public fixture.** This page contains synthetic demonstration data, not a live or private wiki record.

Evidence is usable only inside its declared horizon. The fictional weather adapter expires after six hours and withholds last-known values once that boundary is crossed.

A stale domain fails independently. Other authoritative domains may remain usable. See [[source-sovereignty]] and [[meeting-context]]. ^[raw/adapter-contract-weather.md]
