Source: checked-in public Discovery data plus the exact live Registry snapshot observed for this response.
Format: text/markdown; charset=utf-8
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.

PubFi gateway summary: The active signed Registry generation has no route for this provider. Discovery inclusion and upstream documentation do not make a provider executable through PubFi.
PubFi gateway guidance:
- Use the official provider documentation for direct integration.
- A future collected source becomes executable only after the normal evidence, policy, health, and generation pipeline accepts it.
