 ## Unreleased
 
+- Recognize quoted dispute examples in JSON replies with CRLF line endings,
+  avoiding false reopened findings and preserving the correct rebuttal evidence.
 - Keep agreed findings settled in mixed replies with explicit dispute IDs, and
   stop rebuttal evidence before a separate new finding while preserving restatements
   of the disputed finding.
