How to review

Each subsection contains a lightweight set of common recognition prompts drawn from the existing master list. Mark wording changes, removals, and missing common conditions in the reviewer notes area. These are optional starting prompts, not required Yes / No / N/A questions.

Editorial rules applied

The pass favors common residential field conditions and safety-important items, avoids duplicate wording, retains every master condition ID, and does not rewrite narratives or recommendations. Fewer than five prompts are shown when the source content is genuinely thin.

Taxonomy normalization

Legacy Interior ceiling/floor duplicates were consolidated. Garage-specific door, separation, and floor conditions were placed under the canonical Garage system. No production content was changed.
