# Route 001 correction requests

This service is **temporarily paused**. Do not send a request until this policy and the Route 001 page both state that intake is active. When active, it accepts only one structured correction request about a public Route 001 record at:

`POST https://corrections.acs.ousiaresearch.xyz/api/v1/route-001/corrections`

It accepts only:

- `Content-Type: application/json` with a UTF-8 JSON object of at most 256 bytes;
- exactly the members `record_ref` and `category`, with no duplicates or additional members;
- `record_ref`: `route001:public_` followed by exactly 32 lowercase hexadecimal characters;
- `category`: one of `factual_error`, `privacy_concern`, `accessibility_issue`, or `attribution_issue`.

While paused, the accessible browser form at [`/route-001-correction-request`](/route-001-correction-request) is disabled and sends nothing. Browser clients at `https://acs.ousiaresearch.xyz` may preflight with `OPTIONS`; only `POST` creates a request when intake is active. When active, the form emits only this grammar and a valid request returns `202` with JSON `{request_id, status, claim_limit}`. Invalid grammar returns `400`; unsupported methods return `405`; unavailable or paused intake returns `503`.

It does not accept explanations, uploads, evidence, contact information, names, account identifiers, credentials, tokens, secrets, private keys, payment information, or material concerning any other route.

A receipt acknowledges structured intake only. It is not acceptance, amendment, retraction, review, truth, authority, or a promise of an outcome.

## Handling and retention

- Intake may be paused at any time; paused intake accepts no request body.
- Structured request content is retained for at most 30 days.
- After expiry, only a non-identifying terminal disposition and time may remain for up to one year, then the row is deleted.
- **Accountable human handler: Anduril.** On a conflict or recusal, intake is paused rather than decided until a separately named human is available. This service does not infer independent review.
- Acknowledgment or a public status update is due within 7 days; a disposition or status update is due within 21 days.
- This narrow channel does not issue private adjudications. A visitor who disputes a visible public amendment, retraction, or status may submit one new structured Route 001 correction using the published grammar; it remains a fresh receipt, not an appeal record or a promise of reconsideration.
- A requester may withdraw an unexpired `received` or `under_review` request without sending any body by `POST`ing to `https://corrections.acs.ousiaresearch.xyz/api/v1/route-001/corrections/{opaque-request-id}/withdraw`, where `{opaque-request-id}` is the opaque receipt identifier. It immediately removes the structured reference and category, retains only the bounded terminal status, and returns an opaque withdrawal receipt. The path is available even while new intake is paused.

A correction request does not itself alter public content. Any amendment or retraction requires its own separately linked public record.
