• [review-underlinked 2026-10-18] Added the VDOE weekly bulletin (#2026-38, Article 2026-38-440 -- the original grant announcement) as a SUPPORTING document; most of this record's fields (dueDate, budgetMax $120,868, 75+3 eligible divisions, webinar date) already matched it exactly. Two small confirmed additions not previously captured: application is capped at 10 pages (budget, contact info, cover page, project narrative, signed statement of assurance), and the named program contact is William Hatch, Associate Director, Office of CTE (cte@doe.virginia.gov). Separately: the bulletin links to 2 specific documents -- "Attachment A" (eligible-divisions list, doe.virginia.gov/home/showdocument?id=81656) and the "CTE RHTP Grant Application" form itself (id=81658) -- both return HTTP 403 (Akamai bot-block) from this network; genuinely blocked, not dead links. Need the manual-rescue runbook (CLAUDE.md) if we want them ingested -- would require someone downloading them from a real browser.
