- Limitations
- A bounded search result, not proof that no such records exist. Firecrawl search was unavailable because its MCP keyless quota was exhausted. The authenticated exact-name opinion search reached the API, which returned HTTP 429 with Retry-After 24,371 seconds (about 6.8 hours); CourtListener work stopped. The hull-number query was not submitted after this multi-hour response. No litigation negative finding is made.
