Data Coverage Caveats

• Current project data fully supports still-image frame-center checks for 60 mapped images.
• Current project data does not contain synchronized IMU or ground-truth trajectory for BASALT VIO validation.
• Phase 3 must validate public dataset acquisition before FT-P-03, FT-P-04, and NFT-PERF-02 can remain in the executable test plan.
