List every registry we cover plus its scope, legal status, and health. Public coverage catalog (no API key required). Use it to discover the `jurisdictions` codes accepted by search_offenders / batch_search and to check per-registry freshness/health before relying on a result. Returns: { count, registries: [ SourceInfo ] } where each SourceInfo is: - id: registry code (e.g. 'IL', 'TX', 'PR') - name: human-readable registry name - covers: [state codes] a registry covers ('*' = national / all) - scope: 'state' | 'national' - status: 'live' | 'building' - legal: { commercialUse: 'allowed'|'restricted'|'prohibited'|'unknown' } - health: { lastSuccessAt, typicalLatencyMs, ageSeconds, freshFor } `health` is OPERATIONAL COVERAGE METADATA about our ingest schedule, published for transparency. It is NOT a quality warning about a search result: a search serves every registry's best available data regardless of `freshFor`, so a registry listing only 'weekly' still contributes its records to a freshness='daily' search. Do NOT tell a user their search results are stale, unreliable or out of date on the basis of these fields — they are not. The only completeness signal that belongs in an answer is `counts.sourcesIncomplete` / `warnings[]` from the search response itself.
