+// Name → ethnicity / gender inference — REMOVED 2026-05-03 per Phase 1.6
+// BIPA gates (docs/PHASE_1_6_BIPA_GATES.md, Gate 4) and the audit-trail
+// PRD's protected-attribute exclusion rule (docs/AUDIT_TRAIL_PRD.md §4).
+//
+// What was here: FEMALE_NAMES / MALE_NAMES / NAMES_HISPANIC / NAMES_BLACK /
+// NAMES_SOUTH_ASIAN / NAMES_EAST_ASIAN / NAMES_MIDDLE_EASTERN lookup sets
+// plus parallel SURNAMES_* sets, plus guessGenderFromFirstName(),
+// guessEthnicityFromName(), guessEthnicityFromFirstName(), and
+// genderFor(). Used historically to bias synthetic-face-pool bucketing.
+//
+// Why removed: hard-coded inferred-attribute classification from candidate
+// names is (1) a Title VII / IL Human Rights Act discriminatory feature
+// engineering risk, and (2) when combined with deepface-extracted
+// classifications (per Phase 1.5 walk), forms the "biometric information
+// derived from a biometric identifier" pattern under BIPA's broad reading.
+// Removing both forecloses both arguments.
+//
+// Replacement: face-pool routing for synthetic faces uses deterministic
+// hash of candidate_id (in mcp-server/index.ts /headshots/ routes), no
+// demographic inference. Real-photo intake requires the consent gate
+// (Phase 1.6 Gate 3) and is NOT served by this UI surface.
+//
+// Do NOT re-introduce. The Phase 1.6 unit test asserts these symbols
+// stay absent from this file.
 
 // Role classification — sober, no illustrations. Maps a role string
 // to a short uppercase label and a "band" used as a left-edge color
