}Limitations and assumptions
- Date text is not parsed; historical organization, period continuity, naming correctness, and provenance 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.
