# Provenance and Copyright Boundary

## Source

- Site: [UI Patterns](https://ui-patterns.com)
- Pattern index: [Design patterns](https://ui-patterns.com/patterns)
- Robots policy: `/search` is disallowed; `/patterns` is not disallowed.
- Footer at retrieval time: `© 2007-2026 Learning Loop ApS. All rights reserved.`

## Boundary

This namespace is a public catalog and retrieval map. It keeps factual routing metadata: titles, taxonomy, URLs, detected section headings, example counts, and source-shape notes. It does not mirror full source explanations, screenshots, examples, comments, or paid product content.

## Allowed Agent Behavior

- Link to source pages.
- Use pattern names/taxonomy as retrieval handles.
- Paraphrase lessons after reading the source and applying them to a specific product context.
- Quote only short bounded snippets when the user explicitly needs exact wording.

## Avoid

- Republishing full pattern pages.
- Copying screenshots into Pixi Wiki.
- Presenting the corpus as a clean dataset for training or commercial redistribution.
