A practical guide to source monitoring operations in TEMIRIN using configured records, explicit market identity, current controls, and human review.

Source monitoring operations begin with a current inventory, not an abstract coverage promise. List each configured RSS feed, HTTPS page, and provider-backed X or Telegram reader with its workspace, owner, category, enabled state, and purpose. This inventory gives support a concrete answer to what TEMIRIN is expected to collect and prevents an old connection from remaining important only in someone's memory.
Group sources by operating behavior rather than by prestige. A scheduled official page, a frequently updated feed, and a provider channel have different identifiers, timestamps, and failure modes. Record the expected source reference and useful freshness window for each lane. Reviewers can then understand whether a missing item reflects the publisher, provider, configuration, or collection state.
Every source should expose a small, understandable set of states backed by stored observations: enabled or disabled, last successful collection, current failure or stale state, and latest safe diagnostic detail. Keep the last good item available with its original timestamp while showing that newer collection is unavailable. This prevents an old record from appearing current and gives operators a direct place to begin investigation.
Separate the collection attempt from the source content. A successful provider response confirms that a configured path returned data; it does not establish the accuracy or relevance of the item. Conversely, a failed attempt says nothing about whether the underlying event occurred. Maintaining those two lanes lets support discuss connection health without changing the evidence assessment made by a reviewer.
RSS and HTTPS records should retain canonical URLs, available publication times, observation times, and duplicate state. Provider-backed records should retain their available provider identity and timestamps. Use stable identifiers to recognize repeated material while preserving the originating record. Duplicate handling reduces review noise, but the stored relationship should remain visible so a user can understand why one item was not presented as new evidence.
When content changes, append the later observation and an attributable review note. Do not rewrite earlier items to make the source look consistent in hindsight. A correction, update, or moved page can change the current interpretation while the historical collection record remains useful. This discipline supports incident review, journal analysis, and exports that accurately describe what the workspace stored at each time.
A monitored item appears beside a Polymarket market only through a supported explicit market ID. Verify the exact question, outcome, close time, and resolution source before using the evidence in a review. Items without that identifier remain in the source view. This creates a clear operations boundary: source monitoring stores configured inputs, while the reviewer confirms which market record the evidence belongs with.
For a linked record, show the preserved trigger price and separately timestamped current price alongside source provenance. Public bid, ask, spread, and visible depth are current market observations. Read-only public-wallet positions and concentration have their own snapshot time. Current policy state and the human note remain separate again. Clear labels let a reviewer inspect the whole context without losing which system record supplied each fact.
Review source health on a documented cadence and after provider or configuration changes. Sample one fresh record, one duplicate, one stale state, and one collection failure from each relevant lane. Trace the workspace, source identity, observation time, status, and safe error detail. Assign corrective action to an owner and retain the later successful observation so recovery remains visible beside the incident.
Measure operations with source availability, observation delay, duplicate rate, and unresolved failures. Keep those metrics separate from market outcomes. When a linked review produces an authenticated decision or a user-entered paper order, preserve the source ID without changing the monitoring history. Paper-order checks remain per-order notional, rolling twenty-four-hour notional, per-market exposure, and portfolio concentration in the separate paper ledger.
It can display the RSS, web, X, and Telegram records configured for the workspace, along with their stored observations, current connection state, and operational history where available.
Canonicalization and content deduplication apply to supported stored RSS and web evidence. Provider attempts, fetches, and ingestion results remain operational facts and do not count as additional confirmation.
It means the configured path has an operational problem recorded at a particular time. The failure does not confirm or contradict the claim, and the evidence record should retain its own state.
The record needs an explicit market ID for a market already configured in the workspace. Unlinked evidence remains in the source view until a person verifies the market and its resolution wording.
