Did Netflix's M&E delivery guidance (fully filled M&E, stems, true-peak) change when the M&E guides and the 2.0 article moved to the Knowledge Hub?

The scripted and nonfiction M&E guides read on 2026-10-22 match their Wayback copies (2026-08-09 and 2026-06-09) apart from markup, a stray word and a dropped Help Center pointer: both still ask for a fully filled long-play discrete M&E matching the original mix, with nonfiction depth of fill agreed with the Netflix Post Manager. The Near Field 2.0 article differs from its 2026-06-13 copy in one delivery-format detail: SMPTE ST 2067-21:2023 is now listed alongside the 2016 and 2020 editions for IMF Application #2E; its 2.0 M&E rule (fully filled, no dialog, -2 dBFS true-peak) is unchanged. Curator qualifications: Scripted and nonfiction M&E guides match their Wayback copies apart from markup/stray word/dropped pointer; Near Field 2.0 one difference noted by producer. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
