Status on this desk means “community-visible activity / mirrors responding,” not a green light to authenticate from the first result you find. A market can be “up” while phishing clones are also up and louder.
Read status cards on Dark Markets as orientation: which hub is under pressure, whether timeouts are regional, whether a rotation is expected. Then finish on a verified onion with phrase check.
If status says tracked and your bookmark fails, rotate the saved list. Do not treat a clearnet landing page as the recovery path. Hubs redistribute; they are not login pages.
