Recorded AI-assisted source inspection; not independent human approval or hardware testing.

Engineering-reference scope only. V40 does not turn this source into fabrication approval, electrical safety approval, protocol guarantee, safe substitution or end-to-end compatibility proof.

Source inspection is separate from independent technical approval, rights clearance and hardware testing.
