RENDERING CHECKS (the v2 files opened in the engines people use)
  Chromium's built-in PDF viewer (Chrome / Brave / Edge - the viewer that garbled the 21 Sep files), pdf.js (Firefox and most
  web previews), PDFium and MuPDF: every page of every file renders the complete artwork (side-by-side sheets on the release page).
  Root cause of the 21 Sep display fault: the page images used a PNG-predictor compression that Chromium's viewer decodes wrongly
  for images this large; the artwork itself was intact (Illustrator showed it correctly). v2 uses plain Flate compression.

FOLD CHECK
  The file's own two pages (outside + inside), textured on Packola's crease/cut geometry and folded in 3D along the template's
  crease lines (no knowledge of the design): 8 closed views + 5 open views per line in 3-PROOFS - every face reads as intended.

EYEBALL PASS
  100 % crops of every text block, slot, the glue tab, the tape guides, the bottom lockups and the free edges, read from the
  files (4-SUPPORT/qa-crops).
