Version history

Every published version of this article, newest first. Versions are append-only: a correction adds a row, it never rewrites history. Each version below states what changed against the version before it — which fields moved, and which body lines were added or removed.

The content hash is a SHA-256 fingerprint of that version's stored headline and body, computed when the version was written. Two versions with the same hash hold identical text; a changed hash proves the text moved. It is the tamper-evidence check — recompute it against an exported copy of a version and any silent edit shows up as a mismatch.

How we verify a hash — and how you can

Canonicalization: the hashed bytes are the version's stored headline, then the two characters ||, then the version's stored body markdown — UTF-8, SHA-256, lowercase hex. Nothing else is in the input: no normalization, re-wrapping or rendering is applied first, no trailing newline is added, and no other field (including the parent version's id) is mixed in.

Export a version's stored headline and body, join them with the two characters ||, and take the SHA-256 of the UTF-8 bytes. It must equal the hash printed beside that version. In a shell: 

printf '%s' "HEADLINE||BODY" | shasum -a 256

    • The City of Sioux Falls issued the following 16 commercial building permits during the week of Oct. 26, 2026, according to [the city's open building-permits dataset](https://gis.siouxfalls.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Data/Community/MapServer/3). Permits with a declared valuation of $250,000 or more, and new-construction or demolition permits, are covered in standalone articles instead of this roundup.
    • 2 permits in this list are trade permits — mechanical, plumbing or electrical work filed as its own record, separate from the building permit for the project it belongs to. The city writes the PARENT PROJECT's declared valuation onto each such record, so the dollar figure shown for them above is that project's declared value and not the cost of the trade work. 605Buzz does not add those figures into any construction total it publishes.
    • Contractor names above come from [the city's permit lookup](https://epldata.siouxfalls.gov/Permits.aspx), which names one on 16 of these permits; the open-data layer this roundup is drawn from publishes no contractor field.
    • The city publishes its own map coordinate for each of these 16 permits, and they are plotted on [the 605Buzz map](/map) at those points. The coordinates are the city's, reproduced as published; 605Buzz does not geocode addresses.
