- New letter items 10-12 in template AND generator: network sharing &
external access lists, search audit logs (naming Flock's Organization
Audit / Network Audit / Event Log reports with bounded date range),
and federal/external sharing agreements — wording built on MuckRock's
proven request and Rural Privacy Coalition's template (attributed in
Additional Resources alongside EFF Data Driven and Have I Been Flocked)
- Harden fulfillability: "including but not limited to / successor
reports" phrasing, vendor-held-records clause, preservation request,
machine-readable (CSV) format demand
- README: Proof of Impact section (Denver 2026 — records requests
exposed the Border Patrol pilot; 9NEWS, browser-verified)
- 30-day deletion now stated as default; Washington's 21-day statutory
cap (SB 6002, 2026) noted in README and template; retention cap
distinguished from PRA initial-response deadline
- Renumber generator vehicle item 10 -> 13 (collision with new items)

- Embed metadata-scrubbed terminal demo (assets/demo.png) in Quick Start

- Attribution: README and LICENSE now credit rpriven (was a
non-entity leftover from the original template's origin)

- Fix lookup-state-law.ts pointer to generate-flock-request.ts
- Rebuild template state reference: all 20 supported states with law
names and statute citations, corrected deadline groupings (CA, MD),
dropped unsupported states, added fallback for unlisted states

Prior line said 'enter city and state and it auto-fills' — inaccurate. The tool
takes state + agency + your contact info and auto-applies the correct state legal
citations/deadlines. Also surfaced the privacy guarantee (runs entirely client-side).

The Quick Start cd'd into 'flock-public-records-tools' after cloning
'flock-public-records-toolkit' — copy-pasting it errored on the first step.
Also clarified the roadmap web app (browser-only, autofills a request by city/state).
