/healthLightweight plain-text health response. A successful response contains OK.text/plain
/sitemap.xmlIndex of canonical public journal pages.application/xml

Reliability boundary

Static publication

Use the timestamp before treating data as current

The payload does not update itself in the browser and does not claim continuous event delivery. Consumers should inspect updated and apply their own freshness policy.

Web app manifest

/manifest.json is the browser installation manifest for the website. It is intentionally separate from status data and should not be parsed as an operational API.
