    "answer": "PUR1 authorizes one E1 PAPER item under DEMO-P. PUR2 observes a different E2 HARDCOVER item with DEMO-H, despite the shared title. PUR3's proposed DEMO-P adjustment conflicts with the recorded item and lacks authority for the alternative. Preserve authorization and observed receipt separately, requesting the exact edition/format review rather than post a stock change or infer a real refund from the title and unit count.",
