Seat-map fields were independently confirmed against recorded evidence for Japan Airlines. Cabin totals passed independent source verification. Seat spacing, partial-row geometry and facility placement may be schematic. The map cannot render unless its seat-by-seat count reproduces the published totals exactly (12J + 132Y = 144 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
