211-214: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winDocument the live-update fallback handoff.
The existing core path generates frequency estimates and applies crowd-report overlays. It does not accept GTFS
TripUpdateinput. The plan assigns polling and serving outside this repository but says LTA updates should supersede these estimates.State whether the external runtime converts a fresh, mapped update into the existing arrival contract or serves a separate live result. Define the per-station, service, and direction fallback when coverage is partial. This prevents consumers from implementing different precedence rules.

- Around line 46-52: Update the snapshot provenance and handoff contract to
require retrieved_at, an optional provider-supplied timestamp, hash algorithm
and digest, an immutable archive ID or URI, and licence attribution. Ensure
AccountKey and temporary download URLs are excluded, and require the hashed
archive artifact to be retained for offline audit and reproduction.
- Around line 288-290: Add trip-instance identity to the realtime join by
validating every populated TripDescriptor and EntitySelector field against the
corresponding static snapshot hash, including start_date and start_time for
frequency-based trips. Preserve only uniquely matched instances; reject and
retain unmatched or ambiguous fixtures for review rather than attaching them to
a trip pattern.

In `@docs/plans/active/gtfs-static-realtime.md`:
- Around line 426-427: Update the initial scope in the GTFS static/realtime plan
to remove VehiclePosition, or explicitly mark it deferred until a source,
fixture, validation path, and exit criterion are defined; keep the phase limited
to trip updates and service alerts.
- Around line 438-443: Update the broad service-alert EntitySelector expansion
logic so selectors with no populated fields are rejected rather than expanded to
every canonical entity. Retain the empty selector with its snapshot hash and
rejection reason, while preserving expansion for selectors containing at least
one valid field.
- Around line 432-437: Update the matching guidance to exclude
TripDescriptor.schedule_relationship from static snapshot identity validation.
Match only populated static identity fields against the audited snapshot hash,
then handle schedule_relationship separately as realtime relationship state,
including when processing EntitySelector matches.
- Around line 246-250: Revise the prediction precedence rules so fresh mapped
trip-level statuses of CANCELED or DELETED suppress the affected candidate
before processing any StopTimeUpdate prediction. Apply SKIPPED stop-level
suppression before considering crowd-report or frequency fallbacks, ensuring no
prediction can override either suppression.
- Around line 240-244: Update the realtime variant data model to store each
entity’s TripUpdate.timestamp separately from the provider feed timestamp or
FeedHeader.timestamp. Define the freshness threshold and specify the fallback
behavior when TripUpdate.timestamp is absent, then ensure freshness checks use
the per-update timestamp so stale updates cannot pass solely because the feed
was recently retrieved.
- Around line 444-448: Update the StopTimeUpdate validation guidance to allow
either stop_sequence or stop_id individually, require stop_sequence when the
matched static trip visits the same stop_id multiple times, and cross-check the
two fields whenever both are populated; preserve the combined stop-occurrence
identity in prediction and suppression results.
- Around line 428-431: Update the trip-fixture contract near the ADDED and
UNSCHEDULED policy to define a complete, versioned ScheduleRelationship policy
for every enum value: SCHEDULED, ADDED, UNSCHEDULED, CANCELED, REPLACEMENT,
DUPLICATED, DELETED, and NEW. Specify the behavior for each, distinguish
UNSCHEDULED frequency-based trips with exact_times=0 from unsupported
no-static-join cases, explicitly define CANCELED handling, and cite the
applicable GTFS Realtime revision.

- Around line 345-352: Update the plan’s exit criteria to define a deterministic
stale-snapshot predicate, including how superseded manifests, missing or expired
artifacts, and any age threshold are evaluated. Specify artifact-selection
precedence for choosing the current LTA snapshot, and add fixtures covering each
stale or unavailable-artifact fallback path, including frequency behavior and
no-result cases.
- Around line 417-419: Correct the dated progress entry in the GTFS
static/realtime plan: if the decision belongs to this change, change its date

after August 14, 2026.
- Around line 298-304: Update the Phase 2 exit criteria to require every
provider stop referenced by stop_times.txt, including station and platform
records, to have a canonical match, intentional-ignore disposition, or
unresolved listing. Ensure unresolved stop or platform records block Phase 3
publication, while preserving the existing station-parent and trip-pattern
criteria.
- Around line 197-209: Update the FULL_DATASET alert idempotency contract to
include the selected static snapshot manifest or versioned reconciliation
identifier alongside provider, feed type, entity ID, and normalized semantic
payload digest. Ensure a changed snapshot causes reprocessing and remapping
rather than reusing the prior record.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When one continuously present entity changes from semantics A to B and then back to A, the final payload recreates A's historical canonical-write key, so this rule references the old evidence and appends no update even though the current canonical state reflects B. Deduplicate only when the key matches the entity's current version, or include an ordered predecessor/version identity so semantic reversions are persisted.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a generator correction increments correctionRevision for the same snapshot, canonical commit, and mapping version—as the Phase 4 replacement rule explicitly permits—the corrected records must differ from the prior revision, contradicting this byte-identical exit criterion. Include the correction revision (and corresponding generator/schema identity) in the reproducibility tuple so deterministic rebuilds are checked within one artifact revision rather than across intentional corrections.

Motivation
LTA now supplies train GTFS Schedule, Trip Updates, and Service Alerts as downloaded files. The 2026-08-13 captures let issue #157's plan use observed data and give the existing
mrtdown-sitearrival reader an exact schedule source instead of relying primarily on frequency-derived estimates.Observed captures
FULL_DATASETwith two SKLRT and DTL adjustment examples.FULL_DATASETwith no entities, so live matching and freshness semantics remain deferred until non-empty captures exist.Plan
Use a hybrid identity model:
The first consumer artifact is a compact LTA-derived scheduled-arrivals dataset. It preserves calendars and exceptions without expanding every date, supports GTFS times beyond 24:00, carries both input revisions and attribution, and is published by manifest hash through the existing Pages/archive output after the licensing treatment is confirmed.
mrtdown-sitecan import that artifact through its existing archive pull pipeline and serve exact scheduled departures using its canonical station/service API. Frequency estimates become an explicit fallback for recorded coverage gaps. The API and UI retain the departure basis and source-snapshot provenance; crowd-report replacement behavior remains an explicit product decision.The plan now has six phases:
mrtdown-sitescheduled-arrival consumption;Authenticated downloads, credentials, polling, freshness monitoring, and live serving remain outside
mrtdown-data. The supplied upstream files were inspected but were not committed.Validation
git diff --checknpm run lintnpm run checkThe checks pass. Lint reports the repository's existing Biome configuration deprecation notice and
MRTDOWN_FIXTURE_NOWTurborepo caching warning.Scope
This PR updates planning documentation only. It does not add a downloader, commit LTA feed files, publish the derived artifact, alter
mrtdown-site, or implement live realtime behavior.Summary by CodeRabbit
