Curation

What a curator decided about this record, and why. A record built from several source concepts can carry one decision per concept.

REVIEW 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5
Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. Risky-grounding review (#12): the flag is lexical: the source label and the term label are different names for the same thing, so they share no word by construction. Read against the source path, the term is the concept. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.c8aa5f6bfe)
