`. The intro `

` (max 2 sentences) must be first child. Existing intro is 4 sentences → trim to 2. Snapshot block present with 4 cards, but card order doesn’t match required num sequence (check). Stats line, key facts table, H2s, FAQ details (need ≥5), callouts (need ≥2). Blockquotes: only 1 present — need 2-4 from ≥2 speakers. Research notes contain shuttle driver + Ngāti Hikairo quote — repurpose.

**GATE 2 — CONTRACT COVERAGE**
Required questions from `must_cover_questions`:
– “Is the Tongariro Crossing closed?” → H2 present, but must be verbatim.
– “Is Tongariro still active?” → H2 present, but not verbatim — fix heading.
– “What was the biggest bushfire in New Zealand history?” → H2 present, not verbatim.
– “What causes 90% of all fires?” → H2 missing → insert as H2 (must_cover_questions has this, question_source=”paa”).
– “What country has the worst bushfires in the world?” → H2 present, not verbatim.
Insert missing H2s with verbatim wording where question_source=”paa” (all 3 are).

**GATE 3 — CLAIM = SOURCE**
All `

  • ` in snapshot cards have anchor sources? Check:
    – Card 1, li 1: has anchor (Fire and Emergency NZ) ✓
    – Card 1, li 2: has anchor ✓
    – Card 2, li 1: anchor OK ✓
    – Card 3, li 1: anchor present but no `source_name` in text — anchor text “Department of Conservation” is fine (has authority context) ✓
    – Card 4, li 1: OK ✓
    Timeline `

  • ` items: have anchors with authority ✓
    FAQ answers: need sources? Contract says “claim_source_required” applies to snapshot/key-insights/timeline/confirmed-list — FAQ not required. But FAQ answers often cite sources — currently OK.
    No further repair needed.

    **GATE 4 — FACT LOCK**
    No verified_facts provided in prompt (research_confidence=low). Skip — no changes.

    **GATE 5 — FAQ DEDUP**
    Current FAQ items: 5 present (details elements).
    – FAQ1 “Is the Tongariro Crossing closed?” — duplicates H2 “Is the Tongariro Crossing closed?” — 100% overlap → remove per dedup rule.
    – Remaining FAQs (5 minus 1 = 4) → need ≥5 total.
    – Need to add 2 new FAQ items from research notes (e.g., “Was the fire caused by volcanic activity?” already present; add “What should I do if I have a booking?” or “Is the fire under control?”).
    – Min 5 → currently 4 after dedup → add 1 more.

    **GATE 6 — LINK HYGIENE + DIVERSITY**
    – External links: all have target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow” ✓
    – Internal links: none present — contract requires internal links? GATE says “max 3 per domain” for external — all good.
    – Each external URL at most once: check — Fire and Emergency NZ URL used twice (claimed facts), but both are same URL — count as 1 per URL? Contract says “Each external URL at most once” — the URL appears twice (in timeline li and stats) — that’s a violation. Need to remove duplicate.
    – Zhihu URL is external, OK.
    – GEO’s URL OK.
    – doc.govt.nz URL appears twice (different paths) — allowed, different URLs.
    – Fix duplicate URL.

    **GATE 7 — JSON-LD**
    Two scripts present (NewsArticle + FAQPage) inside `
