 ### Later
 
+- [ ] Add provenance (`source` URLs) for the remaining `null`-source alias entries in `data/manual/tld-manager-aliases.json` and `data/manual/tech-aliases.json` — currently only the non-obvious lineage merges cite a source
+- [ ] Continue canonicalising the long tail of `tld_manager` and `orgs.tech` operator names (mostly ccTLD/NIC operators and dotBrand corporates) — `scripts/analyze_operators.py` ranks the unaliased candidates. The two alias files should evolve together so canonical names stay aligned (enforced by `tests/integration/test_alias_consistency.py`)
 - [ ] Annotation - IDN meanings & language, maybe could derive from the individual TLD web pages?
 - [ ] Annotation - `open` or `closed` TLDs (needs discovery; may be addressed by the `brand` registry type annotation?)
 - [ ] Script to create a Sqlite db from the data - maybe purely from client side? E.g. JS could generate it "on the fly"?
