  "**Untried is not passed.** The grid names every cell no one has tried, and a failed flow stays on its cell until it passes.",
  "**The stores ask their own lines.** iOS and Android each have theirs; READY means every line found and ticked, on every platform asked.",
  "**The line on the first release is the owner's.** Twelve musts by default; more is named as over-scoped, not refused.",
  "**The card reads lists.** It does not build, sign or submit an app, and it never holds a signing key."
