## Notes

- **Source**: the server-rendered tracking page (`/track/<number>/`). Each time ends in a US zone abbreviation (`PDT`, `CST`, …), which is converted to its offset so `timestamp` is exact.
- **Privacy**: the page keeps the street address and proof of delivery behind a ZIP check; they are not read. The destination is the city and state it prints.
