Clearly label operator-controlled or sponsored content when the user elects to include it.
-
Remove fixed promotional destinations from PDF headers, footers, CSS-generated content, and Markdown output.

Add tests confirming that:
- Reports contain no external CTA when recommendation or consent is false.
- No hardcoded operator destinations appear in generated files by default.
- User-provided contact information is validated and safely escaped.
- Markdown, HTML, and PDF behave consistently.
-
Document that external inquiry channels may process submitted enterprise information and provide an applicable privacy notice before users follow them.
