Emma Marichal expanded the designer field on 2026-02-26 (commit
1f26508db "Add designers Wael Morcos and Khajag Apelian"):
"Mike Abbink, Bold Monday" -> "Mike Abbink, Bold Monday, Khajag
Apelian, Wael Morcos". The investigation summary already credited
all four designers; this metadata edit aligns METADATA.pb with the
documented credits.

Edit is outside the source { } block; no source-block impact.

 The METADATA.pb source block has correct repository URL and commit hash for the pre-compiled font delivery. However, no config.yaml can be created for this commit since source files do not exist at the referenced commit.

+- **2026-02-26** — Emma Marichal, commit [`1f26508db`](https://github.com/google/fonts/commit/1f26508db) ("Add designers Wael Morcos and Khajag Apelian"): expanded the `designer` field from `"Mike Abbink, Bold Monday"` to `"Mike Abbink, Bold Monday, Khajag Apelian, Wael Morcos"`. The investigation summary above already credited Khajag Apelian and Wael Morcos as designers; this metadata edit brings the METADATA.pb in line with the design credits documented here. The change is outside the `source { ... }` block and does not affect the recorded source provenance.
