2 corrections applied: The 1,376 figure covers the ~7-week Great Terror (10 June to 27 July 1794), not June alone | 'Roger West (1999)' appears unverified; the Vendee/noyades scholarship is associated with Reynald Secher and Jean-Clement Martin
Before[FAQ JSON-LD field] "in June 1794 alone, 1,376 people were executed in Paris"
After[FAQ JSON-LD field] "between June 10 and July 27, 1794, 1,376 people were executed in Paris"
Why: Body text already correctly said 'Between June 10 and July 27, 1,376 people were guillotined' and correctly credited Reynald Secher and Jean-Clement Martin (no 'Roger West' anywhere). But the invisible FAQ JSON-LD field's 'What was the Reign of Terror?' answer still said 'in June 1794 alone, 1,376 people were executed', repeating the stale unverified timeframe. Decoded the faq field (base64->json->base64->json), corrected the timeframe, re-encoded using the exact reverse sequence. Verified post-PUT that the FAQ field still resolves to a valid 7-item array with the fix present. The Roger West fabrication was not present anywhere in the FAQ.
