I have not seen anything resembling that bad a result, so that means something's probably really wrong. Maybe the signature step is that bad now, but I didn't think so. I know the parsing isn't.

If it's the signature, then it's first time mostly. If not, it's every time.

As always, MDQ is fine, until you need discovery. I don't know what to say about that, I guess SeamlessAccess or bust.
