How this map was built

The current first-party map publishes the complete 254-seat grid: Business rows 9-11 in 2-2-2; Economy rows 26-40 are full 3-3-3, row 41 has center D/E/G only, row 42 has center D/E/G only, rows 43-51 are full, and tapered rows 52-53 are B/C-D/E/G-H/J. Royal Brunei sells 39 Preferred positions (rows 26-29 plus 30D/E/G) and seven Leg Space positions (42D/E/G and 43B/C/H/J); those physically roomier locations resolve to SeatRecon tier N while remaining within the sold Economy cabin. Five bassinet positions and the two explicitly windowless seats 50A/50K are transcribed from the map and live seat-selection table. The fleet page's 52 Preferred / 184 Economy marketing split conflicts with the current map and seat-number table; it is not used to assign seats. No 787-8 engineering window grid exists locally, so ordinary window alignment remains unknown. The config code is a SeatRecon cabin-count disambiguator, not a claimed airline-internal code.
