      …
      - Final sweep of the 38 remaining entries: 3 fixes (Halvorsen-Pollakowski 1981

        Land Economics open-space paper replaces Irwin-Bockstael; Goodman-Thibodeau
        1995 heteroskedasticity paper replaces 1998 segmentation mismatch).
      - Des Rosiers et al. (2002) landscaping premium range verified (4-12%) and
        stated precisely in the discussion.
      - ~700-character description truncation confirmed empirically in the raw DB
        (pile-up at 701-703, mid-word cuts before GST/QST boilerplate).
      - README: 53-page badge, '86 verified references' badge, new docs in tree.
