Date is when the tracked source changed or became relevant.
Lane separates legal, source, trust, and market-move work.
Source tells you whether the item is official, primary, docs, or media-signal only.
Internal link routes the update to the PM.US explainer that owns the user question.

Source hierarchy
Official sources and primary documents are authoritative. Platform docs verify operational context. Media signals stay in discovery until a primary record confirms them.
CFTC lists Limitless Markets US, LLC as a pending DCM filing dated May 1, 2026.
Pending filing status is not approval or live PM.US data coverage. It is a platform-watch item for future source verification.
GovInfo published the S.Res.708 status record for the Senate prediction-market trading restriction.
The official status record is the source of truth for the resolution's action history, not social screenshots or recap posts.
Congress.gov hosts the public bill page for S.Res.708, including official actions and text links.
Users need the chamber-specific rule scope before assuming all public officials, family members, or platforms are covered.
The Gillibrand-McCormick release describes a federal prediction-market bill focused on insider-information and consumer-protection concerns.
A bill proposal is not the same thing as an adopted Senate rule, so the tracker routes users to the bill tracker for row-level status.
Polymarket documentation remains the starting source for mechanics, support, wallet, and platform-state explanations.
Troubleshooting pages should separate official docs/status checks from Reddit panic, screenshots, or third-party recovery claims.
The official status page is the safer place to check platform incidents before treating an account-display issue as permanent.
The tracker links status checks without claiming any incident is currently active unless the status page is re-verified at ship time.
Official Hyperliquid docs verify HIP-4 outcome markets as fully collateralized fixed-range contracts useful for prediction markets and bounded options-like instruments; the first market is a recurring binary BTC outcome, staged rollout continues, and multi-outcome markets are not part of the initial mainnet release.
The official docs verify the outcome-market primitive, but market breadth, live volume, user adoption, market share, and competitive impact still require primary or owned data before PM.US renders them as facts.
No standalone market-move item is rendered without owned data or primary-source support.
This prevents the tracker from inventing live prices or amplifying unsourced move claims just because a topic feed is noisy.
