A staged, evidence-led program connecting Phase 1 findings to proposed Phase 2 work, decision gates and future property-specific diligence.
Treaties, jurisdiction, taxation, six registers and map exhibits. Conclusions retain explicit exceptions.
Review report →IT-R01: 2006 SEC agreement and 2023 compact extension. IT-R02: Oct 14 federal remand and original parcel/docket leads. Original deed and full DOI status still missing.
Review active Phase 2 →Complete and verify work packages IT-R01–IT-R08. Interim R01/R02 findings do not pass their final acceptance gates.
Review work packages →Specific title, counsel, surveys, federal status, capital structures and feasibility only for approved sites.
Review decision gates →The version shown in the site's shared subtitle is the public publication edition. It is separate from the historical platform capability milestones v1.0–v1.9 listed below, and separate from the dates and finality of legal research reports. The platform rows are retained for auditability; they do not determine the live public edition.
| Publication edition | Date and public change | Roadmap/workstream reconciliation | Source cutoff effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| v1.1.0 · Current | October 18, 2026 · Public-facing corrections, first-visitor navigation, social previews, source links, selected timeline and GIS/editorial acceptance tests | Reader experience and research-publication maintenance; no Phase 2 completion represented | Phase 1 original report unchanged; new timeline additions individually sourced |
| v1.0.2 | October 18, 2026 · High-contrast timeline/controls and release-version governance | Archive UI/accessibility maintenance + release-control protocol (platform hardening previously proposed as v1.9) | No new treaty/title findings; existing original research cutoff unchanged |
| v1.0.1 | October 18, 2026 · Public version subtitle and linked revision history | Reader-facing provenance and change-disclosure implementation | No new legal findings |
| v1.0.0 · Baseline | October 18, 2026 · Five-territory publication, GIS references, related dossiers | Territorial coverage expansion and map evidence desk; independent from historical v1.0–v1.6 platform milestones | New qualified introductory dossiers; original Phase 1 snapshot retained |
Accountability: Golden Eagle Studios LLC controls release authorization; an automated release test verifies consistency but never independently authorizes new substantive legal conclusions.
Historical platform series, not the live publication edition: The following v1.0–v1.9 labels track site-capability milestones created before publication-wide versioning began. These original labels are preserved for provenance. The current reader-visible publication version is v1.1.0 above. A deployed webpage does not certify the title, current legal status, funding, land-use or jurisdiction of a specific property.
| Version | Platform milestone | Technical status | Research dependency |
|---|---|---|---|
| v1.0 | Public research dashboard, Phase 1 report, six registers and checkpoint | Deployed | Existing Phase 1 source snapshot |
| v1.1 | Historical timeline, developer log, ICM roadmap and LLC copyright control | Deployed | Existing Phase 1 evidence |
| v1.2 | Evidence Explorer, 131 record links and CSV export | Deployed | Existing register records |
| v1.3 | Seventeen parcel dossier records and research-gap checklist | Deployed · v1.6 release verified | Phase 2 IT-R02 for certified status updates |
| v1.4 | Geographic evidence desk; official GIS on demand; historical map source separation | Deployed · live GIS response not independently checked | Official deeds, surveys and federal exhibits for status overlays |
| v1.5 | Seven instrument treaty library with legal-character distinctions | Deployed · v1.6 release verified | Subsequent historical/legal records under relevant Phase 2 scope |
| v1.6 | 66-source authority library and Phase 2 readiness/ICM handoff audit | Deployed · v1.6 release verified | Phase 2 approval/verification, not a live citator |
| v1.7 | Land-use, permits and contracting matrix populated from verified Phase 2 | Deferred until research | IT-R03 and IT-R04 |
| v1.8 | Leasing, financing and contractual enforceability comparisons | Deferred until research | IT-R05 and IT-R06 |
| v1.9 | Update workflow, source version history and publication controls | Partially implemented in publication edition v1.0.2; automated source-refresh workflow remains future work | Approved authoritative source refresh process; maintain independent evidence gates |
| v2.0 | Integrated site with completed Phase 2 findings and parcel-level decision tools | Future conditional release | IT-R01–IT-R08 acceptance and separate parcel diligence gates |
The Chairman authorized Phase 2 on October 18, 2026. Public-source work on IT-R01 and IT-R02 is active. Every remaining work package and paid third-party action retains its stated scope and acceptance controls. Source records and actual approvals remain the system of record.
