🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 2

❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Automatic Tests	⚠️ Warning	The PR changes only two XML initializers and adds no test diff; the existing ChronosStrat test does not verify that global.views.xml supplies this initializer.	Add an automated regression test that loads the relevant view definition and asserts both acceptedParent fields use name=ChronosStrat without edit/new actions.
Testing Instructions	⚠️ Warning	The steps target the correct new Chronostrat record and Preferred Chronostratigraphy field, but omit the non-biostratigraphy condition that defines the reported bug.	State that Is Biostratigraphy must be unchecked and verify that a known non-biostratigraphy Chronostrat name appears in the query results.

✅ Passed checks (4 passed)
