Method & integrity notes: May 2026 subjects and answers come from the original key document (177/177 aligned, zero stem mismatches). Dec 2025 answers are from the corrected recall paper; subjects classified by word-boundary keyword matching (fixed after a substring bug — "year" matching "ear" — had inflated ENT to 37% of one paper; corrected ENT share is 3–5%). June 2024 and Dec 2024 have no answer sources in the recalls; their answer fields were stripped (previously fabricated as "all A") and answer analysis is intentionally omitted for them.
