How this page stays honest
bfa.wv.gov and code.wvlegislature.gov both returned clean HTTP 200 to every direct curl attempt with a browser User-Agent — no bot-detection wall found anywhere in this pack's West Virginia research. The legacy wvdhhr.org domain (hosting older Income Maintenance Manual PDF chapters) also returned clean HTTP 200, but several of its chapter files carry OLD page-footer dates (10/13, 11/09, 10/08) predating this pack's fetch by more than a decade — this pack treats those IMM chapters as evidence of PROCEDURAL structure (how asset/income determinations work) but NOT as a source for current dollar figures, which this pack instead drew from bfa.wv.gov's live, dated SNAP page. This pack could not locate a directly-fetched, dated primary-source table for West Virginia's current Standard Utility Allowance (SUA) dollar figures within its research window — flagged explicitly in freshness.json rather than estimated or fabricated. This is a TOOLING/COVERAGE gap in this pack's own research, not a confirmed source-side access barrier — bfa.wv.gov and the IMM index page were both reachable; this pack simply did not converge on the specific IMM chapter (likely Chapter 12, Deductions) carrying the current SUA table within its fetch window.
