The seat grid and cabin totals pass FlightQ's internal coordinate and arithmetic checks; a public source link is not currently available. The map cannot render unless its seat-by-seat count reproduces the published totals exactly (16J + 138Y = 154 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
