How this map was built

Japan Airlines Boeing 787-8, international configuration E12 (186 seats: 30 JAL SKY SUITE business + 156 JAL SKY WIDER economy). Per-cabin counts, class row ranges, and the exit/lavatory/no-recline/no-window seat lists are published on JAL's official 787-8 aircraft page (jal.co.jp/jp/en/aircraft/conf/787.html); the abreast layouts (SKY SUITE 2-2-2 staggered, SKY WIDER 2-4-2 eight-abreast) are read from JAL's published E12 seat-map diagram. Corroborated by Wikipedia's JAL fleet table (30J/156Y=186). DERIVED elements (layoutProvenance mixed): exact row NUMBERS between the published anchor rows and the taper of the rearmost economy row are constructed to reproduce JAL's published totals and may differ from the airframe. Business modeled as 5 rows of 6 (rows 1,2,3 forward bay + 7,8 aft bay = 30) — JAL numbers the staggered suite 1-8; the stagger is flagged geometryHint 'staggered'. Economy modeled as front rows 18-26 (9x8=72) + rear rows 45-54 (10x8=80) + a reduced last row 55 (centre 4 = 4) = 156; the row-55 taper is derived to reconcile to the published 156. Published special seats honoured on their real row numbers: row 18 whole-row no-recline bulkhead (18A/C/D/E/F/G/H/K), Door 3 exit row 45 (45A/C/H/K no-recline), row 46 centre no-recline (46D/E/F/G), row 52 no-window window seats (52A/K) plus 52A/C/H/K no-recline, row 54 no-recline (54A/C/H/K). Pitch/width are not published by JAL and are flagged unsourced; no 787 window grid exists so windowGridType is omitted and window seats are windowAlignment 'unknown' except the published no-window 52A/52K.
