    fix pass after the batch check. The operator, town, ministry and tax pages behind every address, opening hour and price were re-opened; the prepaid and tourist eSIM prices do render on the operator pages, so the earlier notes claims of missing tiles and a login wall were corrected and SIM Card, Currency & Banking, Power, Tap Water and every tax line were re-read against the Croatia prep. Libraries & Study Spots restated to the posted summer hours; Affordable Shopping Spots gained the Plodine weekday opening hours; Regional Travel lost its rotating date on the bus fares; Birdwatching Locations moved to the ornithological-reserve page after the old attractions page became an index. Run provenance set to this pass.
