## Mirrored help centers

When a project mirrors its Featurebase help center into the Knowledge Base, the set carries `source` (`"featurebase"`), `source_url` (the help center's public address), and `synced_at`, and each article has a `source` object with the provider, the Featurebase `article_id`, its `url`, and `updated_at`. The Shipstar-served copy is canonical; the fields are there so a renderer can say where the article is maintained. Sets authored in Shipstar have `source: null`.
