Readiness and official advice

Voyalier separates two kinds of readiness: logistics it can check itself, and high-stakes facts it will only ever quote from a cited source.

Deterministic readiness

The readiness rollup checks plan completeness — schedule conflicts, lodging coverage, and items still pending review — and shows an overall status. This is logistics only, computed on your device from your confirmed facts.

Sourced items are link-only or consented

Entry requirements, health notices, and government advisories are never asserted or “cleared” by Voyalier, and never authored by a model. They appear as link-only items pointing to the official source (for example, the US State Department advisories index, or the CDC and WHO travel-health pages), and are excluded from the readiness rollup so they never give a false sense of “done.”

Consent-gated snapshots

Two sources can be fetched on an explicit click — the click is your consent, and nothing about your trip is sent:

• UK FCDO travel advice (GOV.UK Content API): stores a dated, verbatim snapshot with its source link, Open Government Licence attribution, retrieval time, a staleness note after 7 days, and a UK-passport-holders label. The country comes from a curated list in code, never from your trip text.
• Weather outlook (Open-Meteo): geocodes the destination and stores a dated daily forecast for your trip window, with honest coverage against the ~16-day horizon, “Weather data by Open-Meteo.com” attribution, and a staleness note. Weather is planning texture, never a safety claim.

Each snapshot is invalidated automatically when you change the trip’s destination or dates, so stale advice never lingers.
