# Closed family taxonomy (learning-harness, Req 1). A family is the ONLY key that routes work and
# scores a pair; CWE ids and mechanism ids are attributes looked up through a family and are never
# keys themselves. `verifier` says what can confirm a claim in this family: a canary oracle in the
# sandbox, static corroboration from another checker, or nothing (the claim stays a suspicion).
# `unknown` carries the generic mechanisms and the deliberately out-of-scope weaknesses, so a row we
# have considered and declined is visible instead of silently unresolved. Bump `version` on any change.
