TK-11041: the exact paragraph the (new, clean) Innovations draft still needs

The Sep-4 agent draft is gone; a clean human draft r-5469570474427181957 replaced
it today at 11:58 with the provenance banner and the bare signature both fixed.
It is still missing the one thing DTD verdict B required - naming Whistler and
asking about closeout - without which the vendor's reply cannot answer Decision 2.
Paragraph supplied as a copy-paste block (prose + HTML) rather than written into
the draft: the next action on that object is Steve clicking send, so an
agent-rewritten letter would read as unwitting approval.

+# TK-11041 — the one paragraph the Innovations draft is still missing
+
+**Target draft:** `draftId=r-5469570474427181957` (account `info`, to `hmartinez@innovationsusa.com`,
+subject "Current trade price list request", created 2026-09-10 11:58, `agent_composed=false`).
+
+That draft is **clean** — no provenance banner, no DW/private-label codes or names, signature has a
+title and company. It supersedes the Sep-4 agent draft (`r-1766618972989872280`), which is gone;
+there is exactly one Innovations draft and no duplicate.
+
+**What it is still missing:** DTD verdict B (2026-09-10) required the letter to *name Whistler
+explicitly and ask about closeout*. It does not. Without that sentence the letter asks only for the
+full line sheet — and per Cody's objection a trade line sheet lists CURRENT skus and does not
+reliably annotate discontinued ones, so Whistler's absence from the reply would be a **second
+inference** (discontinued? renamed? not in this edition?) and Decision 2 stays unanswerable even
+after the vendor responds.
+
+## Paste this as a new paragraph, immediately before "If it's easier to send the full current catalog pricing"
+
+> One specific question as well: is **Whistler** still available in any form — current production,
+> remaining inventory, or closeout? We show it in our records but can no longer find it on your site.
+> If it has been discontinued, please let us know whether any stock remains and, if so, the quantity
+> and pricing; if it has been renamed or replaced, we'd appreciate the current name.
+
+### HTML form (the draft body is HTML)
+
+```html
+<p>One specific question as well: is <strong>Whistler</strong> still available in any form — current production, remaining inventory, or closeout? We show it in our records but can no longer find it on your site. If it has been discontinued, please let us know whether any stock remains and, if so, the quantity and pricing; if it has been renamed or replaced, we'd appreciate the current name.</p>
+```
+
+**Why this wording:** it names only the *vendor's own* pattern name (never our "La Orvito"), and it
+closes all three of Cody's branches in one sentence — discontinued, renamed, or simply absent from
+this edition — converting the inference the panel objected to into a direct answer.
+
+**Scope reminder:** the letter is now needed for **net price on 39 items only**. Identity, colorways,
+specs and images for all 51 are recovered and in `innovations_catalog` — including the 12 Whistler
+rows, whose full spec block was recovered from the 2025-10-17 archive snapshot.
