+**Detail-when-present.** Per-copy chips (the binder page chip, condition,
+language) render **only when that specific copy carries the value** — no
+dash, no "Not set" placeholder; absence renders nothing, keeping rows quiet
+by default and dense only where there's something to say. **Norms are
+unmarked, deviations are chipped**: Near Mint and English never render a
+chip (imports stamp `nm`/`en` on nearly every copy, so an always-on chip is
+noise, not signal) — the row only speaks when a copy is LP/MP/HP/DMG or
+non-English. The Key's Condition section says so in its title.
+
 **Touch rule.** Hover-revealed information (titles/tooltips on glyphs, hover
 peeks) is **enhancement-only** — on coarse pointers it doesn't exist, so nothing
 may be _only_ reachable via hover. Every hover affordance needs a tap path;
