Curator qualifications: Correction date (2025-09-02 per producer) not re-read; direction convention (U undistorts vs OpenCV distorts), unrepresentable terms, 3DE LDPK and Hydra comparisons (F4-F8) not reinspected; 3DE archive not downloaded. OpenLensIO PDF (mm-based units) not reinspected. Static reading only; no tracking data sent or received; no calibration converted.

Limitations: Static reading only; no tracking data sent or received; no calibration converted.

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