What this is

Classified `form: person` by the August 2026 pass and corrected on 23 August 2026. This is a company, not a human being. The pass was tuned to stop people being read as institutions and nothing tested the opposite direction; a list of every person on the map was what finally put it beside fourteen other companies. `cat` is untouched.
