## Source

Boards are the caller's own organization, stored in PeekPanda. Pinned apps carry the listing name and icon as pinned; evidence counts are stored paid-ad observations.

## Refresh

Board reads and writes never call a provider or start collection. Pinning an app does not watch it; watching stays on the ASO tracked-app list.
