Source: Scuola Grande di San Rocco (official)frari — closedDates
- Was
- "NEEDS_VERIFICATION for visits outside June-September: ..." — a raw internal status-marker token left at the start of a public-facing field.
- Now
- "Not confirmed for visits outside June-September: ..." — identical uncertainty and identical instruction to call and confirm hours, in plain reader-facing language.
Phase 24 (tests/safety gates): running scripts/check_venice_consistency.js's internal-audit-language leak check (previously written but never wired into an automated build gate) surfaced this field starting with the literal internal marker 'NEEDS_VERIFICATION' instead of reader-facing prose. No fact or confidence level changed.
turbopass-citypass — notes
- Was
- (none)
- Now
- Turbopass advertises "20+ attractions" for Venice without an itemized public list; not independently confirmed either way at the time of this check.
Limited P1 Restart task: authoring the Ca' Pesaro attraction guide surfaced this UNKNOWN row without notes; scripts/check_provenance_integrity.js flags any UNKNOWN relationship lacking notes so the uncertainty stays auditable.

- Was
- none
- Now
- catalogueStatus: PARTIAL; catalogueSizeAdvertised: 17 (Chorus churches, confirmed via direct fetch of chorusvenezia.org). Modelled coverage of the pass's ACTUAL catalogue is 0 of 17 (0%) — none of Venice's 9 current registry attractions are Chorus churches (Frari is explicitly, correctly modelled as EXCLUDED from Chorus; the other 8 are civic museums/theatre/non-Chorus sites).
P1.5 registry-deepening task. This is a genuine, previously-undiscovered 0%-coverage finding: the Chorus Pass's real church network has no registry footprint at all yet. Logged honestly rather than glossed over; no attraction records fabricated without individual price verification.
