What was done

• [declined] MINOR the verifier named on the placard is not published under /checks/ (404), unlike its sibling pages: left as is; minor, and the placard names the path without a link and says the check has not yet been put to the outside test.
• [declined] MINOR the live amendments endpoint now returns 78 records (55A added after retrieval): not an error, as the report says; the page states its retrieval date.
• [declined] MINOR the Open Parliament Licence link returns 403 to curl, as does all of parliament.uk: left as is; the link could not be tested, not shown broken.
