A KB-backed site can preserve dated versions — either via git history surfaced as URLs, via Docusaurus-style version snapshots, or via a `dateModified` + change log per entry. The Stanford pattern is the strongest example of citation-grade content discipline.\n\n**This KB's posture:** the schema captures `created_at`, `updated_at`, and per-update history via trigger (audit table). Slug renames preserve old aliases. Soft-delete only. The infrastructure for SEP-style citation discipline is already in place; what's needed is the editorial habit.","rationale_body":null,"metadata":null,"links":{"outgoing":[{"slug":"wikipedia-verifiability-policy","title":"Wikipedia verifiability policy: all challenged material must carry an inline citation to a reliable published source","kind":"reference","scope":"business","link_type":"relates-to"}],"incoming":[{"slug":"research-brief-kb-backed-website-methodology","title":"Research brief: The knowledge-base-backed website (piece 3 of 15)","kind":"reference","scope":"business","link_type":"relates-to"}]},"created_at":"2026-05-22T18:57:39.642Z","updated_at":"2026-05-22T18:57:39.642Z"}
