This log records published PlainCollector changes from 2026 onward. It distinguishes source-data corrections from crawl or presentation work, and it does not treat a CFPB complaint as a legal finding against a company. The methodology explains the complaint database, while the editorial policy explains how correction reports are assessed.

Accountability

Public /corrections alias and identity CiteThis blocks

Added a /corrections redirect to the editorial corrections process, a public /changelog, and Cite this page blocks on identity and legal pages so readers have a stable citation string and a clear path to report data issues.

Crawl hygiene

Rich-only collector concentration profile (STOP-AT-PASS)

Collector detail pages now emit a concentration profile only when the collector has enough complaints for length-varies and diverse-content gates; em-dash prose was scrubbed before ship (commits d8dd4de7, 6e4dcf14).

Crawl hygiene

Noindex /search dropped from sitemap-pages

Removed the noindex /search route from the pages sitemap so crawl instructions no longer advertise a non-indexable URL (commit 132ceed7).

Crawl freshness

Honest per-route sitemap lastmod

Static and related sitemap entries now stamp lastmod from git or CFPB data vintage per page instead of a single portal-wide fingerprint (commit 37654bb6).

Index surface

DEAD_CLASS rankings noindexed and emptied from sitemap

Empty rankings class stopped advertising indexable URLs; sitemap-rankings emits empty and ranking templates are noindex,follow (commit c0f6c6f4).

Identity

Honest org identity: removed a fabricated collective byline

Publisher and author surfaces no longer imply a multi-person collective; accountability stays with the named editorial process and contact inbox (commit 4e1850b6).
