- How this page stays honest
- No WAF or bot-detection barrier was encountered against dhs.dc.gov or code.dccouncil.gov with a standard browser User-Agent; both served clean HTTP 200 responses to nearly every direct fetch this pack made. One dhs.dc.gov page (apply-benefits) returned a 200-status 'Access denied' body rather than a 403 — this pack worked around it via a DC-based nonprofit outreach partner's own page (DC Hunger Solutions), cross-checked against other dhs.dc.gov pages that did fetch cleanly, rather than relying on the nonprofit page alone. dcrules.elaws.us, an unofficial DCMR mirror, is confirmed nine years stale (2017) via its own page metadata and was used only for chapter-numbering structure, never for a current figure. dcbenefits.dhs.dc.gov (a portal URL a secondary source cited) returned a clean 404, resolved by using the confirmed-live District Direct portal instead. fns.usda.gov's Restaurant Meals Program and ABAWD Waivers FY2025-2029 pages both fetched cleanly on the first attempt.
