The spread is what matters on this template: 100 in Superhuman against 70 in Outlook Classic, a 30-point gap across the same file. 6 of the 21 clients render it without a single flagged property. Outlook Classic is the one to preview against after any edit, because it is where this template has the least margin, and the 137 warnings behind that score are concentrated there rather than spread evenly.

At 17.7KB compiled it has roughly 84KB of headroom before Gmail clips the message at 102KB and hides the rest behind a "View entire message" link. Inlined CSS and base64 images both count toward that, so watch it as you add sections.

Safe to customise: The product rows and the return link. Duplicate an existing row rather than authoring a new one, so the cell padding that holds the grid together comes with it.

Leave alone: The bgcolor attributes sitting alongside the CSS backgrounds. Several clients repaint CSS-only backgrounds in dark mode while leaving text colour untouched, which is how a readable product panel becomes black on black.
