Conflict log
- Reel Transfers pricing is modeled from starting rows; output choices, shipping, HD upgrades, and editing can change the final checkout total.
- Slide and negative product pages only publish 600 DPI and an ambiguous '2000+dpi' tier (not an exact 3000/4000 DPI figure), so no slideResolutionPricing tier was recorded — see reel-transfers-slide-resolution source notes.
