Viewer compatibility scorecard

Review dated, hash-pinned evidence from real document viewers without universal claims.

View Markdown source

This scorecard reports what was actually exercised. “Open smoke passed” means the application held the exact checked-in fixture open. It is intentionally weaker than a visual-fidelity pass.

Interpretation

Automated parity is stronger for content/model equivalence; viewer tests are stronger for application acceptance. Neither substitutes for the other. Production adopters should run the same fixture shape in the exact viewer versions used by their recipients and contribute sanitized evidence for currently untested rows.
