Parts and ports notation audit

All eight Table 9 cells, four Table 10 cells and the 18 parts / 20 ports graphical-production occurrences. Every selected local alternative has a representative asset, a partial match with explicit limits, or a documented deferral. This is not whole-language coverage or renderer conformance.

12 source cells and 38 production occurrences reviewed. The 106 alternative records are source-local bookkeeping entries, not unique symbols or required SVG counts.

What reviewed means

Visually inspected pinned source pages alongside text extraction. LocalAlternativesAudited means that the explicit forms in the selected source unit, imported dependencies and source issues have been recorded and assigned a rendering disposition. It does not mean all dependency productions, model combinations or rendering cases are implemented. Source-cell and production counts stay separate.

Every selected unit has a visual review, identified local forms, source pages, and an explicit rendering disposition. Imported grammar and arbitrary prefix combinations are separate dependencies; recording a deferral does not implement them. An asset match is limited to its stated representation scope. Source inconsistencies remain visible.

Rendering dispositions: 23 representative asset records, 26 partially rendered records, 57 deferred records. 6 units record source issues.
