Description
Require nonempty mapTitle, edition, and dateText and join them into an edition/date label.
Archival records often contain bounded dates, editions, and source identifiers. Arithmetic on supplied coordinates can check consistency while leaving historical interpretation and authenticity unresolved.
Require nonempty mapTitle, edition, and dateText and join them into an edition/date label.

}Limitations and assumptions
- The date is preserved as text; map provenance, survey date, georeferencing, accuracy, and publication rights are not verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
