Confirm zero ambiguity in checklist task descriptions.

Formatting Consistency	100% adherence to TR-Styling Guide	0 Errors
Link Integrity	100% of URLs are active/HTTPS	0 Errors

Acceptance Benchmarks: Asset must pass 100% of criteria to be cleared for public download deployment.

6. Practical Troubleshooting Scenarios

Scenario A: PDF Layout Distortions on Export

Failure: Rendering error where headers overlap or markdown tables break across page margins.
Correction: Adjust CSS print-media queries to force page-break-inside: avoid; on table elements. Re-render via Pandoc with the --pdf-engine=wkhtmltopdf flag.

Scenario B: Digital Signature Verification Failed

Failure: The recipient reports a "Certificate Expired/Invalid" warning upon opening.
Correction: Verify local system clock settings. If the clock is accurate, refresh the Registry Root Certificate store. Re-export the document with the current active deployment key.

Scenario C: User Reports "Read-Only" Download Access Error

Failure: User cannot fill the interactive checkboxes in the PDF.
Correction: Re-export the document without "Strict Document Restriction" enabled. Ensure "Interactive Forms" are marked as "Fillable" within Adobe Acrobat settings.
