Data Sources & Freshness

| Source | Last Refresh | Refresh Schedule | |--------|-------------|-----------------| | Julkri | 2026-03-12 | Annual | | NCSC-FI Ohjeet | 2026-03-12 | Annual | | Tietosuoja Ohjeet | 2026-03-12 | Annual | | Katakri | 2026-03-12 | Annual | | VAHTI | 2026-03-12 | Annual | | Kanta | 2026-03-12 | Annual |

The ingest.yml workflow runs automatically on the most frequent source schedule. The check-updates.yml workflow runs daily and creates a GitHub issue if any source is overdue.

To check freshness at runtime, call check_data_freshness. Full source provenance and licenses: sources.yml.

Development

Branch strategy

feature-branch -> PR to dev -> verify on dev -> PR to main -> deploy

Never push directly to main. main triggers npm publish and Vercel deployment.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/Ansvar-Systems/finnish-standards-mcp.git
cd finnish-standards-mcp
npm install
npm run build
npm test

Ingestion

# Full pipeline: ingest all 6 frameworks -> build DB -> update coverage
npm run ingest:full

# Individual steps
npm run build:db         # Rebuild SQLite database
npm run coverage:update  # Regenerate coverage.json and COVERAGE.md

# Check freshness
npm run freshness:check

Pre-deploy verification

npm run build            # Gate 1: build
npm run lint             # Gate 2: TypeScript strict
npm test                 # Gate 3: unit tests
npm run test:contract    # Gate 4: golden contract tests
npm run coverage:verify  # Gate 6: coverage consistency
