# Wave 1 Findings

Date: 2026-03-12

Scope:
- `pet_friendly`
- `air_purifier`

Changes applied to source data:
- Added `pet_friendly` to `Dypsis lutescens` (`Goldfruchtpalme`)
- Added `pet_friendly` to `Chamaedorea elegans` (`Bergpalme`)
- Added `pet_friendly` to `Howea forsteriana` (`Kentia-Palme`)
- Added `pet_friendly` to `Pilea cadierei` (`Aluminium-Pflanze`)
- Added `pet_friendly` to `Goeppertia insignis` (`Calathea lancifolia`) based on ASPCA `Calathea spp.` coverage
- Added `pet_friendly` to `Goeppertia ornata` (`Calathea ornata`) based on ASPCA `Calathea spp.` coverage
- Removed `air_purifier` from `Tillandsia usneoides` (`Spanisches Moos`)
- Removed `air_purifier` from `Phlebodium aureum` (`Blaues Kanaelfarn`)

Evidence basis used:
- ASPCA non-toxic entries for `Areca Palm`, `Parlor Palm`, `Kentia Palm`
- ASPCA non-toxic entries for `Aluminum Plant` and `Calathea spp.`
- Conservative removal for `Tillandsia usneoides` and `Phlebodium aureum` because no equally strong primary air-purifier support was confirmed during this wave

Deliberately not changed in this wave:
- Borderline or genus-adjacent `pet_friendly` candidates without direct enough evidence in hand
- Most remaining `air_purifier` entries, because several are plausible but need a stricter literature pass rather than guesswork

Operational note:
- These source changes do not update the persisted backend catalog automatically.
- Production still needs a catalog rebuild via `server/scripts/rebuild-from-batches.js` and a deploy.
