Preflight checks

Treat this preview as a planning asset, not proof that your local environment is ready.

The manual is generated from source-linked project files and Doramagic validation signals.
Community evidence warnings stay visible instead of being converted into marketing claims.
The preview remains noindex until English quality and reciprocal indexing gates are explicitly opened.
Use the upstream repository as the final authority for installation commands, license, and version-specific behavior.
