Does verifier 36 mean the digit sum of the code can never be a prime number?
The rulebook's card 36 text (multiple of 3, 4 or 5) implies this; a broader community claim that the sum is never prime was corrected.

Almost never. With verifier 36 present the sum must be a multiple of 3, 4 or 5, so no prime other than 3 or 5 is possible. Those two are prime and are also multiples of 3 or 5, so the sum is not strictly never prime.
