Open source receipt - response correction
Gabriel Olteanu separately suggested signaling before passing a desired parking spot so FSD may select it.
The directly fetched post contains the complete recommendation and timestamp; it does not itself say the blinker method preserves a streak.
Open source receipt - resolution evidence status
Two user-authored parking workarounds are retained, but official Tesla streak rules, software-version behavior, and safety guidance were not found in directly extractable material.
