Link to release 1.6.5v

A small patch that adds GA4 measurement to public production pages while keeping staging, uploads, findings, and private report routes outside analytics.

• Added: Measure public page visits with the Google Analytics 4 property G-764KWQ9F19.
• Privacy: Exclude staging and every private scan, job, report, comparison, export, and error route from the Google tag.

Add a safe synthetic curriculum with reviewed findings, benign explanations, private inspection, and fail-closed delivery.

• Added: Publish generated text, PDF, Word, and Excel lessons with clean controls and expected-versus-observed results.
• Security: Deliver only digest-addressed allowlisted samples after package, relationship, size, and SHA-256 validation.
• Privacy: Keep public samples outside report storage and copy validated bytes into ordinary owner-scoped temporary workspaces only when inspection is requested.
• Accessibility: Retain the complete catalog, explanations, filters, and downloads without JavaScript.
• Documentation: Bind the curriculum to a reviewed scanner version so intentional finding changes require explicit review.
• Documentation: Add a public guide for reading lesson contracts, separating evidence from conclusions, and verifying expected results safely.

Strengthen Excel inspection and add a temporary unannotated reference of visible workbook content while keeping sheet-aware textual findings authoritative.

• Added: Create a temporary, scanner generated PDF reference of visible worksheets when isolated Excel rendering is enabled.
• Improved: Report formulas, hidden sheets, rows and columns, comments, defined names, protection, relationships, drawings, embedded objects, and concealment formats with workbook-, sheet-, range-, row-, column-, or cell-aware locations.
• Security: Render with a fresh bounded LibreOffice Calc profile, validate only the expected PDF, reject active content in the derivative, and clean every intermediate artifact.
• Privacy: Keep workbook references owner scoped, temporary, integrity-bound, and coupled to report deletion and expiration.
• Accessibility: Present findings separately from the responsive workbook reference and state explicitly that findings are not marked on rendered pages.
• Documentation: Disclose that pagination, fonts, formulas and calculated values, charts, shapes, and print areas may differ from Microsoft Excel and that hidden worksheets are omitted.
