+# Decision: The overseas AI line stays on the Answer home, centred like the line under each answer
+
+- **Status:** decided 2026-10-17
+- **Source:** `src/components/ClinicalDashboard.tsx`, find "where an Answer question goes. Centred on the"
+
+The owner first asked for the overseas AI line to come off the home pages, then chose to keep it on the
+Answer home in the same style as the line under each answer: centred, with the same wording. The
+line under each answer is centred by PR #3605, which is still open when this is recorded; until it
+merges, only the home line is centred. The wording
+itself is set once in `src/components/clinical-dashboard/answer-provider-notice.tsx`, so both places
+always say the same thing. This replaces the earlier 17 Oct 2026 decision to remove the line from the home pages.
+
+If this summary and the source ever differ, the source wins.
