How this lines up with Liz's handoff. Structure and milestone titles are hers, verbatim, from the
per-level Mounted/Unmounted docs in her "It's done" message. Multi-clip milestones are stitched into one
video with gold title cards and fades, exactly as her clip lists specify. Where Bernie had no video and Liz
used her own academy footage, it's live and marked for a professional reshoot — her call. Her yellow
"need to film" flags and worksheet notes are carried through untouched.
