These conflicts were raised by the Sanity Context Knowledge Base itself, when a newer source contradicted what it already said. The agent drafts a ruling; it cannot apply one. A reviewer approves, the ruling becomes a standing instruction for every later build, and the answer changes.

On what date did Manitoba's permanent time change (permanent UTC−5) take legal effect?

The enacted legislation entry says Manitoba's permanent time amendment was proclaimed in force on 31 October 2026, but the tzdata rule changes entry says the legal date for Manitoba's permanent UTC−5 is 2026-10-31 with a temporary modeling date of 2026-11-01.

The primary source is the Lieutenant Governor's proclamation of 23 September 2026. It names 31 October 2026 as the day The Official Time Amendment Act (S.M. 2023, c. 4) comes into force. The primary source outranks secondary reference data. The tzdata entry itself says 31 October is the legal date and gives 1 November only as a temporary modeling choice. So the legal in-force date is 31 October 2026.

Checked against the dataset: The typed regimes for America/Winnipeg show the DST regime (UTC−6 standard offset, DST on) ending at 2026-10-31T05:00:00Z. A non-DST UTC−5 regime starts at that same instant. This agrees with 31 October 2026 and not with the 1 November modeled date. The only Manitoba instrument in the typed records is a community news item marked enacted_not_effective, which is not authoritative and predates the proclamation. It does not contradict the primary source.

critical · eid_al_fitr_1447_date_indonesia

On what date does Eid al-Fitr (1 Shawwal 1447) fall in Indonesia: a single date of 21 March 2026, or a two-day observance on 21–22 March 2026?

The Hijri Date Determinations entry states that Indonesia's Sidang Isbat set Eid al-Fitr 1447 on Saturday 21 March 2026, but the Annual Holiday Schedules entry lists Idul Fitri 1447 H on 21–22 March as national holidays, suggesting a two-day observance rather than a single date.

21–22 March 2026 (two days)

Idul Fitri 1447 H is observed on 21–22 March 2026 as national holidays in Indonesia.

21 March 2026 (single date)

Indonesia's Sidang Isbat set 1 Shawwal 1447 (Eid al-Fitr) on Saturday 21 March 2026.

Saudi Press Agency (SPA) — Supreme Court Announces Friday First Day of Eid Al-Fitr

Draft by claude-sonnet-5-5 · side 2

The two claims answer different questions. 1 Shawwal 1447 is a single date, Saturday 21 March 2026, per the sidang isbat determination (Side 1, the higher-tier source). Side 0 has no recorded authority. A 21–22 March holiday period is consistent with that date, because Indonesia's Idul Fitri holiday customarily covers 1 and 2 Shawwal. The holiday span does not make Eid itself a two-day date. Caveat: the cited SPA item is a Saudi announcement, so it is a weak vehicle for an Indonesian determination. Muhammadiyah also flagged a possible difference, so some groups may have observed it on a different day.

Checked against the dataset: The typed holidays have no Indonesian Idul Fitri 1447 entry, so they neither confirm nor contradict either side. They record Indonesian Ramadan 1447 starting 19 Feb 2026 by sidang isbat, with Muhammadiyah starting 18 Feb. That is consistent with Ramadan ending and Shawwal beginning around 20–21 March. The instruments list only community-tier items (news and a library), including a Muhammadiyah explainer on 1 Syawal differences. None of them settles the question, so the typed data is inconclusive but not in conflict.

“Eid itself is 21 March; 22 March is the second holiday day.”
