Operational fit	Python production flow	Generic fallback flow
Decision driver	Compatibility vs baseline	No clear baseline

Decision checklist

1. Pick a representative payload and run both approaches on the same sample.
2. Measure parse reliability, error visibility, and rollback complexity.
3. Select the approach with lower failure risk for Batch jobs.
