Methods and limits

Each listed check names the surface it examined. A skipped, failed, partial, unavailable, not collected, not requested, or withheld check says nothing about what a completed check would have returned.

Only checks with status completed enter the claim sentence numerator.
Findings appear only from completed checks and only within the scope printed for that check.
Severity labels describe one observation row. They do not roll up into a paper judgment.
