    After

    Why: Verified live: body text already correctly says 'CTO at Calm' in both mentions of Will Larson. FAQ field checked (decoded via base64/json/base64/json) - no mention of Will Larson or Calm in any FAQ entry, so no FAQ fix was needed. No action required this pass; confirming the existing correct state.
