Official institutional sources disagree on a citation detail. The inherited canonical wording and the current Society wording are retained separately with supporting source records; no silent overwrite was performed.
Current reference profile was substantively compared against the inherited identity, service, rank, unit or command, action context, and citation. Candidate rank or successful page rendering alone was not treated as verification.
