A .storyboarder file is JSON with project fields (version, aspectRatio, fps, defaultBoardTiming) and a boards array; each board carries uid, image url, newShot, number, generated shot label, time, per-layer image file names and an optional 'sg' 3D scene with camera objects (fixture at file version 2.0.1). Shot labels are generated from board order and newShot flags, not typed; with more than 25 sub-boards in one shot the generated suffixes become irregular (curator trace, unexecuted).

Curator qualifications: Dialogue/action/notes/duration/audio keys are code-derived only (absent from the fixture; producer). No LICENSE/COPYING/EULA file at the repository root tree at either commit (gh api -X GET git/trees); producer reports an installer EULA granting a limited revocable licence and a README link to an open-source note. Reuse of code and fixtures unclear. Code read at pinned commits, not executed; label and setup behaviour derived by reading and by re-evaluating the JS arithmetic in Python (not running the source). Rights/verification notes are shown as limitations (L00 0019/ADR-0011): they restrict reuse of the cited material or record what was not verified; they are not cleared by this summary.

Limitations: One fixture of four boards; units of time (ms per defaultBoardTiming) and lineMileage undocumented. Code read at pinned commits, not executed; label and setup behaviour derived by reading and by re-evaluating the JS arithmetic in Python (not running the source). [component_reuse_restriction] Eligible with licence hold; L10 may run the proposed synthetic-fixture check including >25 sub-boards.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
