- Soft spot: The schedule pages are images inside the PDF; the numbers were transcribed by eye and re-read at higher magnification for steps 19-30.
- Soft spot: work_days is left null: the only calendar bound into the agreement is the 2024-25 staff calendar (184 teacher days), not a 2026-27 calendar.
