The curator re-read all cited web sources (S15, S16, S17); nothing was executed. The AMF documents themselves name the handoff risks: transport between stages is not defined; AMF carries no edit points and no RAW demosaic settings; association with clips relies on an optional clipId or optional AMF_UUID/AMF_NAME columns in ALE (host support not guaranteed); referenced CDL/CLF files are found by relative path or URI; dailies may change the look or output transform, with prior pipelines archived and conflicts flagged or prompted rather than silently overwritten; in-camera application may be precision-limited because cameras use small 3D LUTs. These are the authors' statements, not field measurements. Producer synthesis (association loss, reference loss, semantic mismatch) is a reasonable grouping of the stated risks, labelled synthesis.

Curator qualifications: The curator re-read all cited web sources (S15, S16, S17); nothing was executed. Schema and documentation read 2026-10-22; no AMF file validated, exported or imported. F3 (cube LUTs must become CLF/CDL; fidelity loss at conversion) not reinspected: user guide extraction yielded only the section heading. No field data on failure frequency.

Limitations: Schema and documentation read 2026-10-22; no AMF file validated, exported or imported.

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