Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The inherited rank-1 Society candidate was confirmed by substantive comparison of identity, service, rank, action context, and citation; candidate rank or successful rendering alone was not treated as verification. The current profile records USS Alaska; the inherited unit field Not documented remains preserved as a source variant. The previously unnormalized action date is controlled as 1881-09-14 from the current authoritative profile. The controlled historical action place is Callao Bay, Peru; the complete inherited geocoder value Jorge Chavez International Airport (LIM), s/n Av Elmer Faucett, Callao 07031, Peru remains preserved in the audit evidence. The current authoritative profile classifies the action under Interim 1871 - 1899; the inherited unclassified value remains preserved in the audit record. No underlying General Order was examined, so the exact-order gate remains pending and no General Order verification is claimed.
