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

Alternate assignments vary by implementation context; connector variation alone does not establish lane enablement, power/sideband wiring, platform support or fabrication dimensions.

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