CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. FOODON:03411224 'oyster' kept as an xref. Organism-identity screen (#109): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03411224 'oyster', which is a bivalve mollusc — an organism, not a place. The screen that exists to catch exactly this reported 0 for months because it tested only NCIT and mesh ancestry and only the record's identity; widening it to UBERON:0000468 and to parent_habitats surfaced this family. The GOLD path says host-associated, so the concept is the environment the organism provides, which is the same family as the sponge, nematode and reptile term requests. The organism term is kept as an xref (#99) rather than an identity. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.fd2443a2c3)

DEFINED
Defined as 'oyster-associated environment' under ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment'. Definition authored from the record's committed deep-research report under research/habitats/, read in full; the report's proposed sentence, genus and near-miss table are the evidence. No new research was commissioned. NCBITaxon:6563 and FOODON:03411224 stay xrefs: the concept is the animal-as-place, not the taxon. The genus is one level tighter than animal-associated environment and has no children in ENVO yet. Genus moved from ENVO:01001176 'environment associated with an aquatic invertebrate' to ENVO:01001002 (#210), with the whole aquatic-invertebrate host family rather than record by record - #210 was filed over three records and the genus is actually held by five, so fixing only the three would have rebuilt the same split it reports. Both terms are true of the concept, so this chooses between two true genera on what each drags in: ENVO asserts ENVO:01001176 under ENVO:01001002 AND ENVO:01001055 'environment associated with an animal part or small animal', so the tighter genus makes every descendant inherit a size-and-partonomy restriction that is false of a whole adult sponge, ascidian, oyster, giant clam or sea urchin. ENVO's own modelling is the decisive evidence: ENVO:01001179 'cnidarian-associated environment' - the closest analogue, a taxon-scoped class over aquatic invertebrates - is asserted under ENVO:01001002 ALONE, and ENVO:01001176 has no children in the slice at all. Not carried as an xref: it is genuinely broader, so recording it would re-import the ancestry this declines.
