Inclusion gate: source.isIndexable is true and readiness_flags.llms_export_ready is true; draft/noindex and LLM-export-excluded records are not emitted as markdown detail pages.
Canonical SEO rule: the HTML detail page is the canonical SEO URL; this Markdown route is an agent-readable mirror.
Execution authority: current PubFi routeability comes only from /v1/capabilities and the matching runtime /openapi.json. Checked-in editorial status does not make a provider executable.
