Editorial history and review method

Revision 4 · Approved for publication · HabitSeek site owner (publication approval); Codex discovery audit

Prepared and checked with AI. Publication approval does not imply independent expert review. Request a correction.

Evidence semantics migrated: findings now describe doing the habit, evidence basis is explicit, and the catalogue card uses an editorially selected claim. Basic coverage: contains no outcome claims; copy checked for neutral, non-endorsement wording and safety cautions. Publication release 2026-10-04: site owner authorized a bounded AI audit and release of this exact revision. See docs/release-audit-2026-10-04.md for source-check findings and limits. No independent health-professional or peer review is claimed. Category migration 2026-10-04: removed the separate goals field; categories: Nutrition → Nutrition, Long-term health. Research assessments, sources, guidance, precautions, and evidence review dates are unchanged. This revision awaits publication approval; no new evidence review is claimed. Publication approval 2026-10-04: site owner explicitly accepted all current category-migration revisions for deployment and requested that remaining limitations be retained in docs/content-review-backlog.md. Approval applies to this exact content revision. No new evidence review, independent expert review, or clinical validation is claimed; existing precautions and disclosures remain in effect. Discovery audit 2026-10-10: added familiar search aliases. Outcome assessments, evidence sources, practical guidance, precautions and evidence-review date are unchanged. Formulation aliases identify the topic covered, not an endorsement or a new effectiveness claim. This exact revision awaits publication approval. Publication approval 2026-10-10: site owner answered 'Approve and publish' to the question explicitly covering these eight naming/search revisions and deployment to habitseek.com. Approval applies to this exact revision. Evidence assessments, guidance, precautions and scientific review dates were unchanged by the discovery audit. This is publication approval, not independent expert or clinical validation. The 15 later supplement drafts are outside this approval.
