Precon Portal Acquisition

Summary

Portal acquisition discovers and retrieves bid-package evidence from external portal sources while preserving reviewable state.

Problem

Portal access is variable, stateful, and failure-prone. The system needs to distinguish discovered links, selected sources, acquired files, failed attempts, and operator decisions.

Principle

Model portal work as explicit acquisition and publication state rather than as an invisible browser side effect.

Platform Shape

Portal services and preview/crawl jobs manage source discovery, link verification, acquisition, and repair. Operators review selected portal state before canonical documents are published.
