Owner must confirm this is the intended public year designation
before agents use it in copy.

## Forbidden
```yaml
forbidden:
- claim: "Issue 01 is sold out"
tier: core
proof_status: forbidden
owner: Brand
validity_window:
valid_from: 2026-08-24
valid_until: null
source_hash: "[gap]"
exact_text: false
approved_language: null
reason: >
Owner confirmed in interview that Issue 01 is not sold out. The first-party
shop (shop.kadensjournal.com, retrieved 2026-08-24) showed a sold-out
status at retrieval time, but the owner's direct statement overrides
that snapshot. Do not state or imply the issue is unavailable.

owner: "[gap]"
validity_window:
valid_from: 2026-01-01
valid_until: null
source_hash: "[gap]"
exact_text: false
approved_language: null
reason: >
Owner described the magazine as sitting at the intersection of sport and
lifestyle, serving culture-curious outdoor people as well as dedicated
athletes. Framing it as a single-sport or narrowly athletic title
misrepresents its editorial scope.

No verified circulation, subscriber, or readership data was provided
by the owner or found in primary sources. Agents must not invent or
estimate these figures.
