+## Portugal
+
+Read original Decree-Law 15/93, Rectification 20/93, current drug and personal-use laws,
+2008 Supreme Court ruling, 2023 clarification, 2025 Constitutional Court ruling, 2025 synthetic
+cannabinoid scheduling and 2026 HHC scheduling, and the original 2023 hemp order. The first
+printed five-day quantity was corrected to three days before the law commenced on 21 February.
+The existing 1993 score vector is unchanged; its event date now follows commencement.
+HHC and ADB-BUTINACA controls do not alter whole-point plant-cannabis scores. The hemp chip
+was inconsistent with its already-correct 0.3% text and is corrected without a score change.
+No new adult retail or home-growing authorisation was verified. Club accounts remain weak and
+conflicting; no new claims were added to them.
+
+Portugal validation: profile audit 0 errors/0 warnings; selected-page build succeeded with all
+tests and citation/collection validation. Seven rendered pages inspected, including the hemp
+status and both articles. Snapshot: `.cache/expansion-europe-2/pt-review/`. Commits use a private
+Git index so other agents' staged files cannot be swept into this batch.
