Cover retrieved from the official Google Books cover endpoint for volume xzNS0kVKbdcC in phase 637; validated at 300×476 pixels.

Quality phase 670: cover filename extension normalized from .jpg to .png after binary MIME inspection; image bytes and visual content are unchanged.

Quality phase 671: the identical cover binary shared with edition 3729 is intentional. Both works occur in the same Google Books bound volume xzNS0kVKbdcC, but are linked to distinct internal opening pages (PA289 and PA123); they remain separate works and editions.
