- Limitations
- A bounded negative search is not proof that asbestos was absent. No class-era inference is used as a hull-specific finding. Exact-name CourtListener opinion search returned zero results; hull/alias search remained uncompleted after its authenticated helper reported temporary fleet pacing exhaustion.
