Re-check (deepen-x 09261100-20, 2026-10-01): fresh ZH+EN grep (趙宇天 / Allen Chao) of content/works + content/articles — hit set unchanged (own bibliographic record 09 plus the works index only). A second grep for the named family members (Lee Hwa-Chao, Michael Chao) returned zero corpus hits, so no community record corroborates the Inland Empire pharmacy/biotech roles above. Note for the next pass: Our Journeys 名錄 carries no 趙 surname anywhere in its 1967 rosters, so the Inland Empire business layer above sits outside the community corpus rather than being merely unabsorbed. SKIP confirmed; nothing absorbable, no biography invented.
