  "convention": "Menuella footnote codes — one stable numbering for menu disclosures, used in every supported region. The allergen letters (A1–R) follow long-established EU menu practice, so guests already recognise them. The declaration numbers are Menuella's own contiguous 1–22: national legends are NOT standardized, and the same number means different things on different menus, so there was no existing numbering worth mirroring. Codes are for RENDERING a legend — store the key, never the code.",
