  "$comment": "Contract A4 — the credential's face for Demystify Partner Academy rung ASHR-L1 (Foundations and Sales). Unlike the customer tracks, this badge is designed NOT to expire: the academy ladder gives L1 no expiry and tracks a quarterly release-update module that never expires the badge. So `validity_days` is an explicit null with a written reason, not an omission. The pass mark is the academy's existing L1 gate-quiz rule, not a number set here; L2 and L3 use an Angoff cut score instead. Assurance A1: assessed on the platform, nothing more is requested.",
