Merchant answer / Source-backed reference

Platform-native catalog and agentic commerce infrastructure. Agentic Storefronts, UCP and Catalog API are described in official releases. Does not prove every SKU or market is eligible; data cleanup still belongs to the merchant. Individual merchant eligibility and deployed configuration require confirmation.

What this establishes
The documented role and version scope in the source ledger.

What it cannot establish
Live merchant deployment, private account eligibility, purchase completion or guaranteed AI selection.
