Recommendation

Decision note

Rebuilt from the original export under the complete V411 factual-source gate. Each tool was researched independently and every high-risk family was checked again in a second pass. Preview only. Apply remains blocked until failures = 0, warnings = 0, unmapped = 0, missing = 0, logo QA is accepted or image import is disabled, explicit clears are reviewed, and a representative WordPress edit screen is checked.
