3 of 5 products mapped

Command-level mappings against 5 audited products, each with its documentation source and capture date. No documented equivalent means the audit found nothing in that product’s official documentation — it is not a claim that the product lacks the capability.

Every canonical command was reviewed against all 5 products in one pass captured 2026-09-18. A product with no mapping is a reviewed finding of no documented equivalent, not an unreviewed pair.
