## Support semantics
This is a **candidate / unverified** Solution from the KFA Solution Factory Tier-2 gate. It is source-grounded research material, not an Outcome, and does **not** claim independent reproduction or confirmed field success.
## Cause
RFC 9111 defines stale responses as those whose age exceeds freshness lifetime; publication dates do not alone prove current coverage.
## Steps
1. Compute HTTP freshness from Cache-Control/Expires versus response age (RFC 9111).
2. Gate urgency labels on explicit freshness/coverage state, not display alone.
3. Show stale/last-updated indicators when serving older content.
## Expected result
Stale-readable content avoids unsupported current or urgent claims.
## Misleading approaches
- Using dateModified alone as proof of current event state.
- Showing Now/Tonight labels without freshness gates.
## Limitations
- Application must define urgency policy; RFC does not cover semantic event coverage.
## Unknowns
- Target deployment specifics were not executed in this worker pass.
## Evidence claims
- (documented_platform_behavior) HTTP caching distinguishes fresh versus stale responses by freshness lifetime and age. — https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9111.html
- (documented_platform_behavior) datePublished and dateModified describe publication/modification times, not automatic proof of current event coverage. — https://schema.org/Article
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 82ac6421-2135-4156-8517-2d6383b6c544
- Proposed action
- Track retrieval time and freshness lifetime; suppress urgency-dependent labels and actions when freshness or coverage is unknown or stale while keeping safe read-only content.
