The attorney-review invariant

Every output from this stinger is a best-effort starting point, not a compliance certification. The canonical closing line for all outputs is:

"This is a generated draft for reference. Have a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction review all legal documents before publishing or countersigning."

No exceptions. Including this line is a critical directive for legal-docs-worker-bee.

Refresh triggers

Re-run scripture-historian at shallow tier when any of the following occur:

• New EU SCCs version published by the European Commission
• CCPA/CPRA implementing regulations amended
• Quebec Law 25 enforcement action or new CAI guidance
• LGPD (ANPD) material enforcement action or new guidance
• New IAB TCF major version
• EU-US DPF adequacy decision challenged or revoked (Schrems III risk)
• A new data category or sub-processor added to the product (partial refresh)
• Termly or Iubenda pricing / jurisdiction-coverage changes materially
