+## October 2026 update
+
+The November 3 export covers October 1 inclusive through November 1 exclusive
+(UTC), with
+records on all 31 days in each of the four analytics source tables. Source counts
+are 3,208,142 API requests, 7,973 searches, 130,889 search appearances, and 15,191
+interaction events, including 10,577 resource views, 1,049 source-site clicks,
+and 551 download clicks. The supplemental aggregate records 6,390 distinct non-null
+event visit tokens and 2,477 searches with non-empty query text. Catalog metadata
+was captured November 3, not at October month-end. Visits describe
+recorded tokens, not unique people.
+
+The month comparison table marks October’s API request count with an asterisk.
+Its footnote explains that Geoportal server-side requests began being recorded on
+October 14, so most of the increase reflects expanded logging coverage rather
+than equivalent growth in usage. Earlier monthly request totals are not directly
+comparable.
+
+October and July–October cumulative reports use the existing monthly refresh
+workflow with `THROUGH=2026-11-01`. Preserve the July–September archive revisions;
+rebuild cumulative rankings from complete inputs, rather than adding monthly
+rankings. Historical July coverage gaps remain disclosed in All time. The Summary
+page defaults to October because the four-month cumulative report no longer
+matches the latest three calendar months.
+
+API endpoint tables retain up to 100 leading request paths per period. Additional
+paths are combined under “Other / unlisted routes,” preserving every request and
+server error in the totals. Cumulative leaders are selected from the full combined
+counts before limiting the table, not from the displayed monthly top lists. This
+bounds dashboard payload size when automated traffic requests many distinct paths.
+Complete inputs remain in the private archives.
+
+Private source archives and supplemental counts stay outside tracked files.
+Source extraction and preservation procedures belong in restricted operations
+documentation. Counts reconciled to source tables establish reproducibility;
+they do not prove that every real-world interaction was recorded.
