node -vnpm -vVerified offers
Offers will stay separate from the technical catalog: official source, validity date, sponsored mention when needed, and verification before publication.
No suspicious keys, no grey links, no unverifiable promise.
Each code can have a date, source, platform and verification status.
The backend can check URLs every night and trigger an alert if something changes.
