- How this page stays honest
- humanservices.hawaii.gov and fna.usda.gov (formerly fns.usda.gov) both returned clean HTTP 200 to every direct curl attempt with a browser User-Agent, including PDF documents that WebFetch's built-in markdown converter could not parse cleanly (the HAR-17-663 PDF returned a PDF-structure syntax error through WebFetch, resolved by fetching directly with curl and converting locally with pdftotext -layout — a tooling-layer limitation, not a source-side barrier). law.justia.com and capitol.hawaii.gov both returned HTTP 403 to every direct curl attempt (browser User-Agent, plain HTTP, and Wayback Machine, the last blocked by an unrelated archive.org rate limit) — this is the one citation in this pack (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 346-53.3's exact text) resting on WebSearch/Justia-snippet corroboration rather than a directly-fetched primary document, disclosed explicitly in the criminal-justice-disqualifications supplement and freshness.json rather than treated as fully verified.
