 - Fixed `Template` key lookup to match CVEs even when `Remediations` CVE cells include extra leading/trailing spaces.
 - Updated key-driven `Template` formulas to return blank for missing source values (including exception date) instead of displaying Excel zero-date artifacts.
 - Fixed malformed `Template` `Unresolved for` formula that caused Excel to remove formula records from `sheet2.xml` during file recovery.
+- Fixed `Template` key lookup regression for numeric `Plugin ID` keys by matching Plugin IDs with numeric-first fallback logic.
 - Added repository policy in `AGENTS.md` requiring blank output for missing key-driven auto-populated values.
 - Updated `scripts/build_tracker_workbook.py` default seed rows for the new column layout and status set.
 - Updated `README.md` workbook column definitions and behavior notes for exception dates and unresolved metrics.
