Across screenplay, breakdown, storyboard, animatic and edit timeline, no single identifier is defined end to end in the sources read: scene numbers survive script-to-storyboard, while reel/clip names and timecode become the keys once a cut exists; EDL drops what it has no slot for.

Curator qualifications: Docs/code read 2026-10-22; no script imported, no tool run. Step table depths for animatic/EDL/AAF steps from producer reading (AAF Edit Protocol and EDL adapter README not re-read). Limitations: Docs/code read 2026-10-22; no script imported, no tool run. Evidence status: curator/producer inference or synthesis from the cited sources (code read, not executed, where code is cited); correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
