Positive control CIF, magnet program. MnBi low-temperature phase (NiAs prototype, P6_3/mmc #194), hand-built at experimental lattice constants a=4.290 A, c=6.129 A. Validated 2026-09-04: parses in pymatgen; reduced formula MnBi; 4 sites (Mn2Bi2); SG #194 at symprec 0.01 and 0.1; density 8.97 g/cm3 (experimental ~8.9-9.0); min pair distance 2.912 A; ordered occupancies. Expected: ferromagnet, Ms ~0.7 T, Tc ~630 K; must PASS the tier-1 magnetic gates.
