This is a small offline explanatory card. Its named references do not mean that the tool retrieves external material, verifies a current programme rule, or exhaustively represents every rhetorical tradition. This reference does not infer exaggeration intent or approve misleading factual claims.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types, and violated calculation rules return input issues. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
