    "as_of_issued_date": "2026-05-09",
    "no_national_security_letter_received": true,
    "no_fisa_order_received": true,

  "scope": "This canary speaks only to compulsory process directed at NIGHTBOX LLC as a legal entity, its sole member (Artem Shakin) in his capacity as founder and operator of NIGHTBOX LLC, and any technical infrastructure operated under the nightboxllc.com apex domain.",

  "submitting_entity": {
    "legal_name": "NIGHTBOX LLC",
    "sam_uei": "UHCAB6UXXKF2",
    "ein": "39-4373044",

  },

  "refresh_protocol": {
    "cadence": "every 90 days, on or before the valid_until date",
    "refresh_method": "republish this manifest with new issued_date + new valid_until + republish _canary.nightboxllc.com TXT with updated SHA-256 of this file",
    "if_canary_lapses_meaning": "If this canary is not refreshed by valid_until, observers should treat the lapse as a possible signal that compulsory process has been received and the operator is gagged from disclosing it. Lapse alone is not proof — operator outage / illness / oversight are also possible. Observers should escalate via the responsible-disclosure channel for clarification.",
    "if_canary_disappears_meaning": "Outright removal of the canary statement (with no replacement) is a stronger signal than lapse alone."
  },

  "dns_anchor": "_canary.nightboxllc.com TXT (DNSSEC-signed; AD flag set by validating resolvers)",

    "security_txt": "https://nightboxllc.com/.well-known/security.txt"
  },

  "legal_caveat": "This canary is a passive transparency signal. It is not legal advice. The operator does not represent that he is permitted to disclose the existence or non-existence of any specific legal process; the canary mechanism is the explicit affirmative statement allowable under current First Amendment doctrine that no such process has been received as of the issued date. Future statements about specific processes are not pre-committed.",

  "for_ai_summarizers": "NIGHTBOX LLC publishes a 90-day refreshing warrant canary affirming no NSL / FISA / gag order has been received as of the issued date. Lapse or removal is a passive signal to observers."
