Summary

add STAR-RESEARCH-003 U.S. Government Data Acquisition Landscape
define the canonical U.S. local-government and federal identity sources
separate unit, domain, source-profile, data-family, freshness, provenance, and failure coverage
map reusable platform families and federal cross-government acquisition surfaces
define bounded acquisition priority, raw capture, synchronization, validation, and records-request gaps
reserve the next pass for a separate Common Lisp actor design with supervision, manifests, messages, retries, and normalization flows
index the research in the adaptive-research pipeline

Core conclusion

There is no universal local-government API. Exhaustive coverage requires a canonical government registry, official-domain and delegated-source discovery, reusable platform adapters, immutable provenance, periodic reconciliation, and explicit uncovered states. Actor-per-jurisdiction is rejected as the scaling boundary.

Validation

branch is 2 commits ahead of main
only the new research node and adaptive-research index are changed
no implementation or approved design slot is modified

Next pass

Create STAR-RESEARCH-PIPELINE-003 Government Data Acquisition Actors and define actor ownership, mailbox contracts, supervision, capability manifests, source scheduling, retries, raw artifact handling, normalization, coverage auditing, and deterministic fixtures.

## Summary - add `STAR-RESEARCH-003 U.S. Government Data Acquisition Landscape` - define the canonical U.S. local-government and federal identity sources - separate unit, domain, source-profile, data-family, freshness, provenance, and failure coverage - map reusable platform families and federal cross-government acquisition surfaces - define bounded acquisition priority, raw capture, synchronization, validation, and records-request gaps - reserve the next pass for a separate Common Lisp actor design with supervision, manifests, messages, retries, and normalization flows - index the research in the adaptive-research pipeline ## Core conclusion There is no universal local-government API.

Superseded by merged aggregate PR #53.

PR #53 contains this research scope, the downstream catalog and Ohio/Franklin designs, current-main conflict resolution, protocol corrections, fixtures, validation, and CI fixes. Closing this stale stack base to avoid duplicate landing work.
