Sources

Everything above rests on a single document. That is not the same evidence as two independent documents agreeing. If the vendor moves or rewrites that page, the whole profile goes with it — treat these claims as uncorroborated and check them yourself before relying on them.

Every fact above is drawn from the vendor's public documentation, reviewed by a human, and version-stamped. Monitored daily for changes. 2 of these 3 links no longer resolve. We record what we relied on rather than deleting it, so the trail stays auditable — but a struck-through source cannot be re-checked today.
