Knowledge Base Freshness Auditor

Review public knowledge-base pages for freshness signals, stale update dates, deprecated language, old screenshot references, broken release/version references, and content needing review.

What It Does

This actor analyzes authorized public knowledge-base URLs or supplied HTML snapshots. It extracts page title, visible update date, detected date, age in days, stale signal, version mention, deprecated language, evidence, risk level, and refresh recommendation.

What It Does Not Do

• It does not bypass logins, paywalls, CAPTCHAs, access controls, or private APIs.
• It does not infer traffic, customer sentiment, ticket volume, or private article history.
• It does not change source sites, private systems, or publication settings.
