TK-11041: one-line discount+basis question, ready to merge into the unsent Whistler draft

There is already an unsent email to the one person who can end the 10%-vs-20% argument.
Adding one sentence settles it for zero extra outbound, and also asks the net-vs-list
question the portal pull structurally cannot answer from a page that just prints a number.
Offered as a copy-paste block, NOT merged: the draft is agent_composed=false, so the next
action on it is Steve clicking send.

+# One line to add to the Whistler draft — settles the discount at zero extra outbound cost
+
+**Draft:** `r-5469570474427181957` (msg `1a09124ac539ff62`), info@ → hmartinez@innovationsusa.com,
+subject *"Re: Current trade price list request"*. **UNSENT.**
+
+## Why bother
+TK-11041 cannot compute retail for the 39 live items until one question is answered:
+`vendor_registry.innovations` says **10%**, and every DW sample request since 17 Aug says
+**"acct 58315 - Net Less 20%"**. A 10-point cost-basis error propagates straight through
+`cost/0.65/0.85` to customers.
+
+Hektor is the person who can end the argument in one line, he has proven responsive
+(he answered the price-list request the same day), and he volunteers exactly this class of
+fact unprompted — on 2026-09-10 he wrote *"Chevron Cork has been discontinued. CRC-02 - 62LY
+in stock."* with no one asking.
+
+**There is already an unsent email going to him.** Adding one sentence to it settles the
+discount for the cost of zero extra emails. Sending the Whistler question alone, and then
+discovering later that we still need the discount, costs a second outbound.
+
+It also closes the *second* unknown the portal pull cannot resolve on its own: whether the
+number behind our login is our **net** price or the **list** price. The sentence below asks
+that too, in the vendor's own terms.
+
+## The sentence (drop in after the Whistler paragraph, before "Thank you,")
+
+**Prose:**
+
+> While we're updating our records — could you also confirm the discount on our account
+> (58315)? Our file shows two different figures and we'd rather use yours than guess. And so
+> we read the site correctly: are the prices shown when we log in already our net, or are they
+> list with our discount applied at order?
+
+**HTML (matches the draft's existing markup):**
+
+```html
+<p>While we're updating our records — could you also confirm the discount on our account
+(58315)? Our file shows two different figures and we'd rather use yours than guess. And so we
+read the site correctly: are the prices shown when we log in already our net, or are they list
+with our discount applied at order?</p>
+```
+
+## Why it is written this way
+- **Does not name either number.** Saying "we have you at 10%" invites a courtesy "yes" to a
+ figure that may be wrong; asking open gets his figure.
+- **"we'd rather use yours than guess"** gives an honest reason for asking something a customer
+ arguably should already know, without sounding like our records are a mess.
+- **Second sentence is the one the portal cannot answer.** Net-vs-list is invisible from a page
+ that just prints a number, and guessing it is the same error as guessing the discount.
+- **Zero DW or private-label names**, so Steve's "none of our names" directive holds.
+
+## Status
+**NOT merged into the draft.** This draft is `agent_composed=false` and the next action on it is
+Steve clicking send — an agent-rewritten vendor letter becomes unwitting approval of wording he
+never saw. The one prior merge happened only because he approved it explicitly ("I merge it now").
+Same offer here: say the word and it goes in with one call, with a pre-edit restore point captured
+first, exactly as the last merge was done.
