Proven usable result
Current-result selection looks for completed validation evidence that is structurally valid.
Validate sitemap structure independently, then compare coverage against crawl evidence only when the latest crawl is representative enough to support it.
Bostic.ai can validate a sitemap as completed evidence even when crawl comparison is unavailable. It will not mislabel every sitemap URL as extra simply because the latest crawl failed or returned no usable pages.
A newer failed, cancelled or legacy-unknown record should not displace an older proven usable result.
Current-result selection looks for completed validation evidence that is structurally valid.
Legacy records remain available by detail ID without being promoted as the current trustworthy result.
Comparison ignores fragments and one trailing slash while keeping query strings distinct.
