Focus

Enforce Null vs Unknown handling for legal-history claims in sparse-record centuries.

What I Changed

  1. Marked centralized statutory code as Null in the 900-1400 layer.
  2. Marked specific debt and inheritance variants as Unknown where continuity is plausible but uncited.
  3. Added norm-vs-practice placeholders for pre-contact institutions to prevent over-legalization of fragmentary evidence.

Legal bridge claims now fail promotion when they collapse Unknown into asserted continuity.
