Agent context should show whether a route is live, background, or retired

jun 03 2026 what things mean

Agent context should show whether a route is live, background, or retired.

Agents are good at finding structure.

They are less reliable at knowing what the structure means today.

A route can exist because it is live.

It can exist because it is useful background.

It can exist because it used to matter and still helps explain the trail.

Those are different jobs.

The machine-readable layer should say which one it is.

undertext

Every page here carries a machine-readable layer underneath: the sources, dates, confidence levels, and connections behind what you just read. I call it undertext. If you read with an agent, give it this page's undertext:
