• Requests may exceed authorized Apple files or project scope.
• Production credentials may be absent, restricted, or unauthorized.
• Store submission or publication may be attempted without approval.
• Concurrent edits may conflict if another writer is active.
• Platform names or field-guide references do not by themselves prove current compatibility or deployment readiness.
