Version history

Every published version of this article, newest first. Versions are append-only: a correction adds a row, it never rewrites history. Each version below states what changed against the version before it — which fields moved, and which body lines were added or removed.

The content hash is a SHA-256 fingerprint of that version's stored headline and body, computed when the version was written. Two versions with the same hash hold identical text; a changed hash proves the text moved. It is the tamper-evidence check — recompute it against an exported copy of a version and any silent edit shows up as a mismatch.

How we verify a hash — and how you can

Canonicalization: the hashed bytes are the version's stored headline, then the two characters ||, then the version's stored body markdown — UTF-8, SHA-256, lowercase hex. Nothing else is in the input: no normalization, re-wrapping or rendering is applied first, no trailing newline is added, and no other field (including the parent version's id) is mixed in.

Export a version's stored headline and body, join them with the two characters ||, and take the SHA-256 of the UTF-8 bytes. It must equal the hash printed beside that version. In a shell:

printf '%s' "HEADLINE||BODY" | shasum -a 256

  2. Version 6

    Wording carried forward. 605Buzz changed its own wording of this page after the previous entry and before the next one. This entry records the page as it read just before the source’s change, so the next entry shows only the source’s change. It does not say whether the earlier wording was right or wrong.

    Revised by 605Buzz — recorded under an internal label that names no person who read this version

    • the City of Spearfish lists [**City Council Meeting**](https://spearfishsd.portal.civicclerk.com/event/2151/overview) for Nov. 2, 2026 on its public meeting portal.
    • The portal files this entry under the category City Council. That is the city's own classification, reproduced as published; 605Buzz does not sort these listings itself.
    • The portal gives the time as 17:30 on Nov. 2, 2026. 605Buzz reads that as the city's own clock: 5:30 p.m. MST.
    • - Agenda · City Council Regular Session Agenda 11/2/2026 · posted Oct. 30, 2026
    • - Agenda Packet · Updated 1 City Council Regular Session Packet 11/2/2026 · posted Nov. 2, 2026
    • 605Buzz does not summarise those documents. Follow the link above to read them at the city's own page.
    • The city's agenda for this meeting lists 45 numbered items. 605Buzz reproduces 40 of them below, exactly as the city wrote them; the other 5 name a party or a location and are not reproduced here.
    • 605Buzz reproduces the numbered item lines from that file and nothing else. Lines the city labels Petitioner, Property Owner, Location or Staff Report are not reproduced here, and neither is a street address; the agenda packet is not read at all. Where an item names a person — an official presenting it, or a resident being appointed to something — that name is part of the item the city wrote, and it stands as written. The text is the plain-text rendering the city's own portal returns for that file. Nothing above is a summary, and an item on an agenda is something a body may consider rather than something it did.
    • Meetings are cancelled, rescheduled and re-noticed, and the portal publishes no field for any of that. Where the city has said so, it says so inside the listing's own title, quoted above exactly as published — and where it has not, 605Buzz cannot report a cancellation the city has not stated, and does not infer one from a missing document. Check [the city's own page for this meeting](https://spearfishsd.portal.civicclerk.com/event/2151/overview) before relying on anything here.

    • The portal is not currently offering any document for this entry. That is a statement about the portal and nothing more: an agenda that is not posted may belong to a meeting that has been called off or to one whose agenda has simply not gone up yet, and there is no field here that tells the two apart.

  6. Version 2

    Wording carried forward. 605Buzz changed its own wording of this page after the previous entry and before the next one. This entry records the page as it read just before the source’s change, so the next entry shows only the source’s change. It does not say whether the earlier wording was right or wrong.

    • The portal gives the time as 17:30 on Nov. 2, 2026, printed exactly as published.
    • The portal marks that time UTC. This entry carries nothing to check that mark against, so 605Buzz says nothing about whether it is right, and the time above is reproduced exactly as published, without conversion. South Dakota keeps two time zones — Central east of the Missouri River, Mountain west of it — so 605Buzz prints the city's own wall clock rather than converting it for anyone.
