Research log¶
| logged_at | field_name | new_value | source | by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-27 16:02:07.041090 | agenda_platform_found | shermanct.gov exposes agendas and minutes through a filtered file directory at /file-directory?file-type=Agenda%2CMinutes, alongside a per-body /muni-events/ calendar. Custom CMS -- no CivicPlus/CivicClerk/Granicus branding. This is Sherman's only available workstream. | curl of shermanct.gov and /file-directory, 2026-08-27 | claude |
| 2026-08-27 16:02:07.041090 | channel_not_found | No meeting-video source exists for Sherman CT (pop. ~3,600, Fairfield County): no town YouTube channel, no citizen channel carrying meetings, no regional PEG channel, and no Vimeo/Granicus/Zoom archive named on shermanct.gov. Three ytsearch queries run. The only Sherman-CT-specific channel found was "Sherman CT News" (UCVVydKlsG8KxW-2Ito6J2yQ), which carries community/news clips and no meeting recordings -- not registered. | yt-dlp ytsearch12 x3 ("Sherman Connecticut Board of Selectmen meeting", "Town of Sherman CT Board of Selectmen", "Town of Sherman CT") + curl of shermanct.gov, 2026-08-27 | claude |
| 2026-08-27 16:02:07.041090 | domain_warning | The old townofsherman.ORG domain has been squatted and now serves an Indonesian online-slots site ("Dewidewitoto : Situs Slot Gacor dengan RTP Tinggi Hari Ini"). Sherman CT's real site is shermanct.gov. Do not use townofsherman.org for anything. The identical failure mode was found this same batch on sharonct.org -- worth checking for on any CT town whose .org resolves but reads oddly. | curl of townofsherman.org (returned the slots site) vs shermanct.gov (returned the real town site), 2026-08-27 | claude |
| 2026-08-27 16:02:07.041090 | out_of_state_collisions_rejected | Sherman is a heavy out-of-state collision and the searches surfaced several, all rejected on body-vocabulary grounds: "Sherman IL411" (Village Board of Sherman, ILLINOIS -- "Village Board" is not a CT body), "Sherman ISD" (Board of Trustees, Sherman, TEXAS -- an independent school district, a Texas-only structure), plus a Village of Cold Spring NY board, a Town of Peterborough NH "Select Board" and a Wolfeboro NH Board of Selectmen. None registered. | yt-dlp ytsearch result inspection, 2026-08-27 | claude |
| 2026-08-27 16:02:07.041090 | oversight_bodies_enumerated | Sherman's real oversight structure, from shermanct.gov's /muni-events/ calendar: Board of Selectmen, Board of Education, Planning & Zoning Commission, Inland Wetlands Commission, Conservation Commission, Historic District Commission, Commission on Aging, Commission for the Arts, Park & Recreation Commission, School Building Committee, Senior Center Building Committee, Town Meeting. Recorded but NOT registered as meeting_bodies rows -- there is no video corpus for patterns to match against, and registering them would create standing zero-match data-quality CRITICALs. Preserved here for whoever picks up the agenda workstream. | curl of shermanct.gov (/muni-events/ links), 2026-08-27 | claude |
