CMS cleanup notes (verification 2026-09-29 Asia/Shanghai):

• Prior websiteUrl pointed at an unrelated worldfootwear.com news article about 361 Degrees revenue (wrong_site).
• Prior title was a news headline (“Japanese artist shows that shoes tell a story”), not the show name.
• Prior CMS date span 2026-07-25 to 2026-10-15 did not match the official two-day schedule. Corrected to official CSIA next Summer/SS edition with official exhibition URL.
