# Add Season Or Source

New season/source coverage should preserve the separation between canonical evidence and public explanation.

## Workflow

| Step | Action                                                                 |
| ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1    | Add or update the canonical source file                                |
| 2    | Regenerate derived source pages if needed                              |
| 3    | Create or update the curated `.mdx` page                               |
| 4    | Classify the page as public + sidebar, public + hidden, or source-only |
| 5    | Update verification checks if the route is required                    |
| 6    | Run `npm run verify`                                                   |
| 7    | Browser-check the route                                                |

## Season Rule

Create or update individual season pages only when source-backed season material exists. For pre-ESPN years, the current public pages can cite recovered award-recipient sources, but full recaps still need validated per-season packages.

Individual season, scorebook, and source-detail pages may stay public + hidden when the season hubs link them clearly. Add them to `docs.json` only when they should become primary sidebar destinations.
