Storage and verification

Artifacts use FormCrawler/g-artifacts/<year>/IRE/ie_gri/; handoffs use FormParser/inbox/G/<year>/IRE/ie_gri/.

The uncapped test captured the upcoming index, all 29 published current cards, the 2026-08-07 results index, and all nine result meetings. The only uncaptured listing was future DLK meeting 119081 on 15 August, which remained not-ready on one queue attempt and one bounded direct recheck. The queue finished with 40 captured, one retry-wait, and no transport failure. All 40 stored artifacts passed byte-length, SHA-256, metadata, and FormParser-handoff validation.

Limitations

• The upcoming index can advertise a future meeting before its detailed card is published. Such a target remains retryable and is not treated as a transport or parser failure.

Module changelog

• 2026-08-08: Implemented current-card list fallback, dated results-range discovery, meeting HTML capture, and greyhound profile evidence.
