+Kyrgyzstan validation: `profile-audit kg` zero errors and warnings. The profile now distinguishes Russian `anasha`, Kyrgyz `кара куурай` and `нашаа`, adds the law’s Russian terms for marijuana and hashish, and corrects the wild-plant fine from “landholders” to anyone obliged to clear the plants. Six terms added.
