Scope and distinctions

Definition metadata. Quantity kind and model-field semantics determine compatibility; no new UUCE execution or CVP claim.

Available operations

Verification scope

New UUCE conversion paths have not been CVP-verified or production-attested. An exact unit definition is not a verification claim.

Candidate is a registry lifecycle state. It is not a completed review or CVP verification.
