CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. GOLD's 'Indoor' node. The mapping table pointed it at ENVO:01000856, which it labels 'indoor environment' and ENVO labels 'temperate marginal sea biome'. No indoor-environment term in the vendored slice. Term request.

DEFINED
Defined as 'indoor artificial water channel system' under ENVO:00010622 'vivarium'. Definition authored from the record's committed deep-research report under research/habitats/, read in full; no new paid research was commissioned. GOLD's Engineered > Artificial ecosystem > Water channel system > Indoor source is interpreted as an indoor experimental stream channel rather than indoor air, an indoor built space, plumbing, or a real-world canal; its only sibling is Outdoor, its only child is Biofilm, and GOLD routes canals to Engineered > Built environment > Canal. ENVO:00010622 'vivarium' is the tightest vendored genus; ENVO:00000121 'artificial channel' and ENVO:00000079 'flume' overclaim civil-engineering landform or canal semantics, while ENVO:01000620 'mesocosm' is defined as embedded within a natural environment and would therefore exclude this indoor child. The requested label expands GOLD's bare source label for ontology clarity, and no exact synonym was authored because Indoor alone is ambiguous across GOLD and would collide with indoor air or indoor built-space readings.
