C3D-0144 · READ-ONLY: layouts, title block attributes, vicinity/flood text [TB-READ-2] done

Lists every layout, every block reference carrying attributes with its current values, any text mentioning vicinity/flood/zone/FIRM/panel, and any raster or OLE object, so stale template data carried from a previous job can be spotted before the title block is filled. No changes.

C# payload

// READ-ONLY. Layouts, title-block attributes and any VICINITY MAP placeholder in this drawing.
// The title-block-fill recipe's #1 hazard is STALE TEMPLATE DATA carried from a previous job, so
// every existing attribute value is dumped for comparison against the job record. Nothing is modified.
