Regulations
A structured, sourced ledger of municipal ordinances, state codes, and regulator filings that govern what each robot deployment is allowed to do, and where. Each entry is classified, anchored to a jurisdiction, and append-only on status; supersessions and repeals are recorded as new events, never deletions.
