Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.

Encodes the mapped /ta/v3, /tap/v2 and __PRELOADED_STATE__ surfaces, the facet grammar that filters a category, per-branch stock counts across ~325 branches, and the three distinct ways Grainger refuses a request while returning HTTP 200.
AutoID Product Catalog & Support
Read-only AutoID Romania MCP for product search, live stock/prices, specs, and technical support.
