The boundary

Heat: Sambal families. That sentence limits the claim. It does not crown a person, a people, or a nation.

Spice trade

Spice trade adds a second limit: Nutmeg, clove, pepper. If the two limits disagree, keep both and do not average them into a prize.

Leave it as a check

Use the published tool for Indonesian cuisine with this limit in view. Check 2 of 4 is whether the axis you care about even includes Heat.
