Version-sensitive notes retained in this package:
- Primary Asset Label Blueprint subclasses do not work for chunking.
- Data Table/Curve Table pointers should not be cached beyond local scope across reimport.
- Data Registry-owned item pointers can become invalid when dynamically sourced data unloads.
- Data Validation commandlets run C++ rules by default; Python validators require registration.
