CFIA SFCR Food Licence Number Portfolio Status Event Monitor

Watch a book of CFIA Safe Food for Canadians (SFCR) Food licence numbers and emit typed directory status events when the official Canadian Food Inspection Agency Food Licence Registry CSV shows a licence appearing, leaving the published good-standing list, or materially changing included establishments / DBA.

Not the UK FSA AppNo twin (#32). Not the US FSIS Est# twin (#29). Not FHRS / food-alert / RASFF tickers. Not unpaid supplier-audit SaaS scrape. Not a nationwide dump SKU billed as rows.

Coverage honesty (Food licence number exact match + good-standing listing semantics)

• Source: Official CFIA Food Licence Registry complete CSV
  https://apps.inspection.canada.ca/webapps/foodlicenceregistry/FoodLicenceRegistry/DownloadFoodLicenceList/?language=e&downloadType=csv
  (live-verified HTTP 200; Content-Disposition: FoodLicenceRegistryYYYY-MM-DD.csv; fields include Food licence number, Legal name, Address, Also doing business as, Included establishments). XML twin available.
• Keys: Food licence number exact match after normalize (trim / uppercase / strip internal spaces, hyphens, underscores). Legal name+address is not used as a primary match.
• Semantics: The registry publishes holders in good standing. A DROPPED event means removal from that published valid list — not a full enforcement / inspection docket.
• Cadence: Follows CFIA publish (verify per-run Content-Disposition date). Not intra-day streaming.
• Jurisdiction: Canada CFIA SFCR Food licences only.

A1b wedge

Food-licence-number watchlist × scheduled official CFIA CSV/XML snapshot diff → typed appear/drop/establishment/DBA events only for the book. Empty same-job Store shelf; adjacency is FSA/FSIS/FHRS (wrong regulator / geography / ID). See opportunity/reports/phase3-a1b-next3-v13.md (#2 PASS → build #36).
