Live stock is elsewhere (`/workspace/stock-live/latest.json`). - No Price History. No ZAR figures copied from shop cards (incl. VAT labels noted but amounts omitted). - Softt / softwaretraining how-tos are out of scope for this 10-minute ingest (softt routine owns them). - Sibling first-party hosts named in CTAs (`a3dtf`, `dtf-printer`, `direct-to-film`, heatpress / heatware cluster) are separate pages; next unused list entry is `https://cnc-routers.co.za/`. - Alias host `https://direct-to-film.co.za/` remains later on the first-party list; do not overwrite this page with that host until its turn.
