When recording a blockchain observation, write down the network, the identifier you looked up, and what the explorer showed at that moment. Distinguish an absent record from an error fetching that record.

{
  "network": "record the network",
  "transaction": "record the transaction hash",
  "observedAt": "record the UTC observation time",
  "expected": "describe the expected result",
  "actual": "describe the observed result"
}

This is a suggested issue-report structure, not an explorer API response.
