CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Non-habitat screen review (#108): the path ends Mammals > Respiratory system > Nasal cavity > Nasal discharge, so the concept is the physical secretion carrying microbes rather than the phenotype abstractly. An external phenotype term supports the clinical context but is not in the committed slice. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.7aeb42082d)

DEFINED
Defined as 'mammalian nasal discharge material' under ENVO:02000035 'oronasal secretion material'. Definition authored from the existing item-level #108 decision, GOLD's source path, the vendored ENVO secretion hierarchy, and Haro et al. 2020 (PMID:33214657; DOI:10.1038/s41598-020-77271-z); no deep-research report was committed because the available provider lanes failed before producing a validated source-backed artifact. GOLD's Host-associated > Mammals > Respiratory system > Nasal cavity > Nasal discharge source denotes mammalian nasal secretion material rather than rhinorrhea as a phenotype, the nasal cavity itself, sputum or another lower-airway material, or the zero-assertion human-only sibling. ENVO:02000035 'oronasal secretion material' is the tightest vendored genus because the source material is nasal and ENVO lacks a nasal-specific secretion-material child; parent_mode=REPLACE drops the source-inherited Mammals > Respiratory system > Nasal cavity parent because the nasal cavity is the sampling context for a secreted material, not a true broader material class (#343).
