Curation

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

REVIEW 2026-08-12 · claude-opus-5
Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. PREGO asserts BTO:0001188 root directly; the self-grounding is correct. Endorsed so the merged root record, whose GOLD attestation is already curated, can reach REVIEWED. (source concept habitatmech:PREGO.561ff76d36)
