  "description": "The Road Traffic Department's (RTD) Form ACR, \"Application for Certification of Roadworthiness\" (Road Traffic Act, 2007; Road Traffic Regulations, 2016), under Eswatini's Ministry of Public Works and Transport — a DMV-vertical companion schema to `sz/rtd/motor-vehicle-initial-registration-application` (Form MVR1-MIB), bundled in the same source document and banked as a future candidate when that schema was authored (GOV-4797). ACR is a genuinely distinct process from MVR1-MIB: it certifies that an already-identified motor vehicle is roadworthy (a prerequisite to licensing/relicensing, following a road-worthiness test), rather than registering a vehicle for the first time. This v1.0.0 schema is scoped to the applicant-facing portion only: \"Identification of Applicant (Person presenting the motor vehicle)\" and \"Details of Application\" (vehicle class, licence/vehicle-register number, preferred language), plus the \"Declaration by Owner\" attestation. The form's own extensive \"FOR OFFICE USE ONLY\" panel — vehicle classification/VIN, make, series name, manufacturer's model derivative, vehicle category, drive configuration, engine/fuel/transmission/colour/steering particulars, tare and gross mass, axle/wheel counts, dimensions, gearbox/differential numbers, the roadworthiness test sheet/number, the RTD examiner's and data-capturing official's sign-off, and the \"Certificate of Roadworthiness\" fee panel — together with the shared \"Motor Vehicle Descriptions\" glossary table used only to help RTD staff classify the vehicle, are all excluded entirely: they are completed by the vehicle examiner and RTD staff during and after the roadworthiness test itself, not supplied by the applicant on submission. GovSchema is an independent, non-profit standards body and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Kingdom of Eswatini, its Ministry of Public Works and Transport, or the Road Traffic Department.",

    "notes": "GOV-4804 (\"GovSchema Standard Research\"). This cycle re-fetched the same .docx authored against for `sz/rtd/motor-vehicle-initial-registration-application@1.0.0` (GOV-4797), which had banked this document's own bundled ACR form as a future companion-schema candidate rather than modelling it. Re-fetch confirmed byte-for-byte identity with the prior cycle's own record: HTTP 200, `application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document`, Content-Length 48,931, Last-Modified `Thu, 25 Sep 2025 20:01:36 GMT`, sha256 `c2ce9f0496d346ad29eee067253bc698c0125cde82b3c0c775d8579cb1bce265` — no re-verification of reachability or a new sha256 was needed beyond this confirmation. Extracted directly from the .docx's own `word/document.xml` (a genuine Office Open XML zip, confirmed via Python's `zipfile` module) by walking every `w:p`/`w:tbl` element in document order and reading each table row's own cell text — the same native, unscrambled OOXML text-layer method used for MVR1-MIB, re-run over the ACR section of the same document (paragraphs/tables following the \"ACR\" heading through to the end of the file). See this document's own VERIFICATION.md for the full table-by-table field map and disclosed scoping/interpretation choices."
