A policy version on a date
A question can name a document the reader may open, and still ask for something the enterprise never wrote down. The warranty policy is readable. Which version was in force on a particular day is not recorded anywhere.
This chapter is the same at every reader level — it records no run anatomy to reveal.
Which version of the warranty policy was effective on 2026-07-15?
The search ran and returned five passages of the policy, all readable by this viewer. The run still refused the question, because the feature it needed is one the model of a document does not carry:
- EFFECTIVE_AT on a document — NOT_SUPPORTED: document versions carry no effective-from or effective-to
- TITLE on a document — AVAILABLE, and only for records this reader may see
The reason the runtime gives is the part worth keeping: published-by-date is a different claim and must not be substituted for it.

Chapter takeaway
- Readable is not the same as answerable: every passage here was permitted, and the question still could not be answered.
- The nearest available date would have produced a confident, plausible, wrong answer — which is exactly what an assistant without a feature model does.
- UNAVAILABLE names a limit in the enterprise's records, not a failure of the run or of the reader's access.
Effective-dated policy is a modelling gap the estate records rather than hides: EKA V1 does not determine a historical effective policy without explicit effective-date data, which the guide takeaway lists among its stated limits.

Transcript
- The question is typed and sent:
Which version of the warranty policy was effective on 2026-07-15?
- The activity rail runs, then the answer arrives with its result: UNAVAILABLE.
- The answer reads:
Based on the provided runtime notes, the effective date for any document (canonical.Document.EFFECTIVE_AT) is NOT_SUPPORTED, as document versions carry no effective-from/effective-to dates. Therefore, the evidence does not establish which version of the warranty policy was effective on 2026-07-15.

- The evidence is opened: 5 items.
- The view returns to the answer.
