What changed

This run's rotating citation spot-check turned up two sources whose titles no longer match what is at the other end of the URL.

accessibility/aria-usage.md — the source read "ARIA in HTML (W3C Recommendation, 15 April 2026)". W3C republished the document as a Recommendation on 11 August 2026, superseding that edition. The URL is unchanged and still resolves; only the date was wrong.

Publication history confirms three 2026 Recommendations — 7 April, 15 April, 11 August. The body sentence "became a W3C Recommendation in April 2026" stays accurate (that is when it first reached REC) and is left alone, as is the 2026-07-31 changelog entry, which was correct on the day it was written.

agent-readiness/webmcp.md — the Model Context Protocol — Tools source was pinned to /specification/2025-11-25/server/tools. The current revision is 2026-07-28, which every other MCP citation on the site already uses; the pin was not deliberate. Verified the page exists at the new revision before swapping.

Why now

Both are date drift on live pages: a reader who follows either link lands on a document that no longer says what the citation claims it says.

Status

No status changes. Citation metadata only — no claim on either page moves, so no updated bump (which would re-deliver both pages to RSS subscribers) and no changelog entry, per the CLAUDE.md rule that the changelog records what the spec says.

npm run build passes.

- aria-usage: ARIA in HTML was republished as a W3C Recommendation on
  11 August 2026, superseding the 15 April 2026 edition the source title
  named. Same URL, wrong date.
- webmcp: the MCP Tools citation was pinned to the 2025-11-25 revision.
  Current is 2026-07-28, which every other MCP citation on the site
  already uses.

Citation metadata only — no claim on either page changes, so no `updated`
bump and no changelog entry.
