  "description": "Renewal of an eligible adult's Canadian passport using the Simplified Renewal process (Form PPTC 054), which requires no guarantor and no proof of citizenship, but does require two references and a mandatory emergency contact. This document describes the eligibility conditions, the applicant inputs, and the online/mail/in-person submission flow. It does not submit the form; the live canada.ca source is always authoritative (see verification).",

Found and fixed a MAJOR drift: v1.1.0's description claimed 'no references' but the live form's Section 5 (References, two persons) and Section 6 (Emergency Contact Information, MANDATORY) are real, currently-required field groups that were entirely unmodeled; the eligibility gate `currentPassportWithinExpiryWindow` mischaracterized a flat 15-year issue-date window as a tiered valid/expired-less-than-1-year rule; and `paymentMethod`'s `cash` option contradicted the form's own instructions, which state cash is not accepted for any application submitted in Canada. Shipped as 2.0.0 per VERSIONING.md (field removal/rename + enum narrowing + new required fields). See VERIFICATION.md for the full comparison."
