This annual edition is pinned to dataset 2026.08.15. The active dataset is now 2026.08.16, so this route refuses to substitute newer calculations for the historical edition. This fail-closed guard prevents a later rebuild from silently rewriting the 2026 report.

Permanent 2026 edition of The Hippie Scientist Evidence Report, pinned to dataset 2026.08.15. Learning pages explain the reasoning layer behind the herb and compound library. They are designed to make mechanisms, evidence quality, safety tradeoffs, and product claims easier to interpret.
