   2 corrections applied: Resolves the date conflict; Spotify's Technology Career Steps framework was published around 2016, matching the case-study reference. | Megan Smith's early engineering career was at General Magic (an Apple spinoff), not at Apple.

   Before

   In 2018, Spotify published its engineering career framework publicly... went from engineering at Apple to VP at Google to CTO of the United States.

   After

   In 2016, Spotify published its engineering career framework publicly... went from engineering at General Magic to VP at Google to CTO of the United States. Verified body text: both corrections (2016 Spotify date; Megan Smith's General Magic background) are already correctly applied, with a separate unrelated 2018-2022 date referring to blog documentation period, not the framework's original publish date. FAQ is a generic tech-career-paths FAQ with no mention of Spotify's framework year or Megan Smith's career history.

   Why: Already correct everywhere: both tracked corrections (Spotify framework year; Megan Smith's General Magic background) had already landed correctly in body text, and the FAQ does not reference either fact. No changes were required.
