Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The inherited rank-1 URL was the canonical current reference profile but direct retrieval was transiently unavailable. Controlled official search resolved the same URL and confirmed the profile; the resolution is recorded as search-assisted rank 1, not an outside-candidate recovery.
