Q3 wholesale sales by product, with the odd things called out

The request

The task request supplied to the adapter, alongside the workspace below. Runtime instructions, authorized tools and skills also affect the system. Containerized runs withhold host-side references; local mode is not an isolation boundary.

Theo needs the Q3 wholesale numbers by product, month by month, for the partners meeting. Build q_report.xlsx with live formulas and write memo.md with anything they should know - his emails have the details.

Recorded acceptance checks

The table uses check names and outcomes from the frozen campaign ledger. Acceptance requires all required predicates to pass; a predicate may itself contain a tolerance or coverage threshold. Its scope is part of the measurement contract.
