 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Changed
+- Repaired the cross-platform frontend test entry point so both `npm test` and
+  the repository's historical `npm test -- --run` audit command execute the
+  complete Vitest and Playwright gates instead of forwarding an invalid
+  `--run` option to Playwright. Unknown extra arguments still fail closed.
+- Replaced three unprovenanced faux-Longmont files with the independently
+  authored, CC0-licensed Redstone Valley v1 Records fixture. Eleven
+  deterministic scenarios now cover ordinary, scanned, tabular, email,
+  malformed, prompt-injection, PII-review, ambiguous-exemption, duplicate,
+  notification-failure, and recovery behavior. Every artifact is visibly
+  watermarked and pinned by byte size and SHA-256 in a validated manifest.
+- Preserved connector provenance through both manual-drop and retry/new-record
+  byte-ingestion paths by forwarding the fetched `source_path` and `metadata`
+  to CivicCore's ingestion pipeline.
 - Renamed the module's public name from CivicRecords AI to **CivicSunshine**
   (sunshine laws being exactly this module's domain), avoiding confusion with
   an unrelated commercial records-request product marketed as

+# Townlight Records synthetic test data
+
+Everything under `redstone-valley-records-v1/` is independently authored,
+explicitly fictional test data. It does not describe any real municipality,
+person, case, address, account, or event.
+
+Every artifact carries the watermark `TOWNLIGHT SYNTHETIC TEST DATA — NOT A
+REAL MUNICIPAL RECORD`. The deterministic provenance and expected ground truth
+are recorded in `redstone-valley-records-v1/manifest.json`.
+
+Validate the fixture from the repository root with:
+
+```text
+python scripts/validate_synthetic_records.py
+```
+
+The validator checks the scenario inventory, provenance, license, watermarks,
+relative references, byte size, SHA-256 hashes, duplicate relationship,
+expected malformed input, reserved contact data, and common secret patterns.
+
+The former top-level files were intentionally removed because they mixed a real
+municipality's branding and contact details with invented people, incidents,
+case identifiers, and operational claims. Git history is the only quarantine;
+those unsafe files must not be copied into release artifacts or demo data.
