  "$comment": "Route facts, the 2026 reference limits and the registration date, from three organiser pages (letapedutourdefrance.com). In the T-79 schema `source` is the page's URL (the handoff's sourceUrl) and `source_name` its name; `asOf` is the day that page was read. The 2027 time limits are not published: `time_limits` stays null until A.S.O. publishes them, then it becomes the list of cut-offs (name, km, cutoff_local, source, source_name, licence, asOf) and the page shows them. A climb figure the organiser does not publish is null, never a number from a third party or a map. No finisher, result or field data belongs in this file.",
