2026-03-16 to 2026-04-19 secondary admin seed pattern — one profile per day for 35 consecutive days, formulaic biographies (~500-700 chars), no photographs, diverse archetypal names across every theatre. Distinguished from the 2026-04-20 main batch by cadence pattern but functionally placeholder/demo content. Flagged 2026-05-13 after user review.
