Exact 269-seat released approved grid remains unchanged, including Economy row45 ABCGHJ and row57 DEF; no count trimming. Methodology ratings use only documented native adjacency and clearly labeled potential disturbance judgments. Row44 B/H are the inner aisle neighbors of the center galley; A/J have no substantiated immediate monument and are standard. All upward-arrow and star category interpretations are withheld without a recovered legend, including extra-legroom and preferred-zone flags. Archived primary accommodation supports Prestige 75-inch pitch/21-inch width and Economy 33–34-inch pitch/17.2-inch width. Archived native Prestige page supports flat bed and 17-inch LCD; no direct-aisle-access feature, USB or manufacturer/model claim is adopted. Interior alignment changes to no_window_seat follow bank geometry; tapered row56 B/H are outermost and remain unknown. Rear-monument adjacency for row56 is unassessed. Schematic non-exhaustive EXIT anchor before44 records drawing order, not structural station, door grade or clearance. Exit eligibility, floor-storage and recline tradeoffs remain individually unassessed. Two flags on row28 DEF/46 DEF describe one forward service/bassinet context; potential disturbance is not independently measured, so they do not compound to avoid. Current fleet-menu extract has no787-9 entry and live269URL returned zero readable lines; active is historical metadata with present operation unverified. Historical IDs, sources, claim texts and snapshot hashes remain preserved. Assessed flags, product details, ratings and furniture changed; exact seat inventory and total count did not.
What changed
- Oct 4, 2026M-KE-01 remediation: removed unsupported direct_aisle_access and USB description; kept archived-source 17-inch LCD and published dimensions. Withheld all upward-arrow/star category meanings: removed 44B/H extra_legroom and all26 preferred_zone flags; retained literal glyph notes. Narrowed row44 adjacency to inner B/H galley neighbors and returned outer A/J to standard with explicit exit-policy limits. Changed row56 B/H to unknown window alignment and window positionOverride; row44 B/H aisle positionOverride documents their missing-C/G bank geometry. Disclosed remaining interior seats changing unknown to no_window_seat, non-exhaustive schematic exit furniture and product-screen restoration. Appended original-source legend caveat without rewriting historical claim/hash; recorded row56 proximity limit and non-compounding disturbance rationale.
- Oct 4, 2026Independently rechecked native paired EXIT glyphs and added schematic exit_door anchors before row 44 on both sides. Published drawing order only; no door grade, engineered station or clearance inferred. Resolves exit-row semantic warnings without changing validator or seat assessment.
- Oct 4, 2026Methodology reassessment of native numbered diagram and official product evidence: replaced neutral placeholders with limited standard assessments and documented adjacency-based be_aware judgments; restored only source-supported product details and map seat categories, preserved drawback cap, and kept unresolved legend, exit-policy, hardware and window alignment claims unverified. No layout/count changes.
- Oct 4, 2026Removed diagram-nonexistent seats 45D/E/F and added native diagram seats 57D/E/F, retaining 24 Prestige / 245 Economy with no count trimming. Corrected layoutProvenance from mixed to published_map after exact visual row transcription. Preserved the historical seat-type key prestige and name Prestige Suite with matching cabin/default references. Restored the published Economy pitch range 33–34 inches as a dimension note. Preserved the PNG source Wayback archival caveat and appended current inspection limits. Qualified historical active status: supplied current fleet-menu extract does not list a 787-9 configuration and the live 9-269 URL returned no readable map. Removed unsupported geometry, hardware, amenities, flags and subjective ratings; mandatory ratings are neutral placeholders.
