Verification:
  Method: Automated extraction from [1] with deepseek-flash (JSON output, thinking disabled). Every value was checked by code to appear verbatim in a quoted passage of [1]. On this check the text of [1] was unchanged since 2026-11-12T10:37:14Z, so the values verified then were kept.
  Cross-check: not-available at 2026-11-12T11:34:20Z. No independent second source is configured for this entry
