Your PoE training knowledge has a **model-specific cutoff** and the game changes every league, so the
biggest risk is an *unknown unknown*: confidently asserting a mechanic that changed or didn't exist yet.
1. Read [`reference_data/freshness_index.md`](../../../reference_data/freshness_index.md) and follow its
"How to use it" procedure:
- Identify the running model (`mcp__pob__get_context_usage` reports the model ID).
- Look up that model's training cutoff in the index's model table.
- Treat anything in the index **newer than the running model's cutoff as must-verify** — use the entry's
"Where / verify via" pointer (a cached file, a memory, or a fresh `fetch_wiki_page` / live PoB call).
2. If the mechanic/item isn't in the index but is plausibly recent (current or last few leagues), **verify
it anyway** and add a row to the index so the next session is covered.
3. **Scope filter (compartmentalization).** Also consult the mechanic-keyed companion
[`reference_data/mechanics_index.md`](../../../reference_data/mechanics_index.md) for each mechanic's
current **scope** (`core` / `challenge-league` / `event-only` / `removed` / `disabled-this-league` /
`nerfed`). When the task concerns a **specific character**, first establish its context (league/realm, and
whether it's an event character — see `playbooks/README.md` §2c), then **only apply mechanics whose scope
includes that context**. A Mirage-only or event-only mechanic must not be recommended fo
