#### notes

* The evidence string 'FRENCH 321or322' lacks a space between the course number and 'or'. Node n2's evidence '322' is a verbatim substring of the requirement text but omits the subject prefix 'FRENCH' found in the linked course reference. The
* linked\_courses list provides canonical references for FRENCH 321 and FRENCH 322, confirming the course identities. The Boolean structure is parsed as an OR between the two courses.
