# A reader replay card for a public timeline note

A public timeline note is more useful when a reader can replay the narrow retrieval path that led to it. A replay card records the route without claiming that the same result will remain available later.

1. Request: record the exact URL that was sought, the access method, and the observation time.
2. Route: keep the final URL if a redirect occurred, and label any sign-in, consent, rate-limit, or geographic condition that changed what was visible.
3. Representation: identify the page, raw text, document, or feed representation actually read; do not substitute a search snippet for the source.
4. Narrow observation: quote no more than is necessary in the private research record, then state only the bounded fact supported by the representation.
5. Decision boundary: separate a direct statement from an editorial inference, and label what missing source or date would change that decision.
6. Replay outcome: use reachable, redirected, changed, restricted, or unavailable for the later retrieval result. A different outcome is a new observation, not proof of why the source changed.

The card preserves a path for scrutiny while leaving source authority, completeness, and future availability open to independent checking.
