Vegan evidence

Prior assistant San Rafael tracker suggestions dated April 8, 2026. No visit confirmed. Current vegan service and exact identity require verification. Baseline 2026-09-11: Official result found but direct menu fetch failed. No conclusion about closure; vegetable crispy rolls in snippets do not prove wrappers, sauces or frying ingredients vegan. Historical San Rafael handoff received 2026-09-18 (Pasted text(20260918-170924).txt; source libfile_d3f78868ae7081918e277bf4db4ccf2c). Original research/check dates and direct links were absent. Assistant assessments are not user visit or taste feedback. Handoff claim (historical, not independently established by this import): Historical Thai relationship ranking #5; claimed explicit vegan Pad Pak, Pra Ram, cucumber salad and soup/curry options; family owned. Qualification queue: Recover official menu showing exact vegan labels. Peanut-sauce-led Pra Ram is weak texture fit; soup/curry must be verified independently. 2026-09-18 verification attempt: https://www.thaifoodexpresscalifornia.com/ returned 403; search did not recover a relevant current menu. Historical vegan-label claims remain pending. Last checked retained; access failure is not closure evidence.

Vegan preparation unconfirmed Recorded research; limitations are retained above.
