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]. [1] was retrieved through the DeepSeek Fetch API because a direct request did not return usable content. On this check the text of [1] was unchanged since 2026-11-12T11:08:18Z, so the values verified then were kept.
  Cross-check: not-available at 2026-11-12T11:34:03Z. No independent second source is configured for this entry
