At least the other sources I am using have yi as fourth tone
----------------------------------

Editor:
Short answer: We indicate 1st tone, but if you know the tone sandhi rules, you know it's pronounced as 4th tone.


We use the following convention, like many other sources:
"Raw tones should be used: Tone sandhi is not indicated"
https://cc-cedict.org/wiki/format:syntax

In particular, we use the convention that [yi1] is used to indicate the pinyin for 一, even though the tone, as pronounced, varies.

一 is "2nd tone when followed by a 4th tone, and 4th tone when followed by any other tone. Examples: ... 一般 (yī + bān > yì bān)"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_sandhi#Mandarin_Chinese
Diff:
# - 一般 一般 [yi1 ban1] /same • ordinary • so-so • common • general • generally • in general <CC>/
# + 一般 一般 [yi4 ban1] /same • ordinary • so-so • common • general • generally • in general <CC>/
