Every immutable revision and current database binding was reconstructed from retained originals without errors. Whole documents and exact resolution sections are labeled separately, and the source chain preserves discrepancies in official descriptions. Page requests read local records; bounded daily preparation rotates through due checks without losing earlier evidence. The live desktop and phone flows passed source-link, exact download, local-reader, error-recovery and accessibility checks, alongside the existing amendment comparison flows. The Python suite passed 475 tests. The earlier 98 verified floor printings remain available. Overall remains 875 of 1,100 points, or 79.5/100."
