  "scope": "All 18 roster slots. Both Vivian portrayals are separate fighters. Size means stature and qualitative illustrated build, not inferred weight.",
  "status": "Research and chosen scale specification only. This report does not assert that runtime or deployment changes have shipped.",
  "methodology": [
    "Prefer performer self-reports, agency material and period reporting; use reported IMDb listings when stronger evidence was not located.",
    "Keep conflicting reported heights and access limitations visible. Reported values are not claimed as medical measurements.",
    "Use show-era adult stature without present-day age-related shrinkage. Ashley uses a late-series/adult reference; Nicky is an explicitly designed child scale.",
    "Do not average unsupported celebrity/AI aggregators, reader comments, or camera/heel photo comparisons into factual measurements.",
    "No numeric body weights, body measurements, or invented physique statistics. Philip stays broad by explicit art direction."
