Enrichment note

This entry is a SHELL: it was created from the Cascade ecosystem directory (captured 2026-08-28) plus the §B2 ranking pass, and its prose above is directory-sourced rather than editorial. Nothing here has been independently verified beyond the listed sources. It exists so the graph can reason about Benqi and resolve its handle; it should be replaced with a researched About body before it carries coverage.
