Component groups organize related verifiable element types.
Authoritative source data lives in:
data/component-groups/
Verifiable element source data lives in:
data/elements/
A component group is a structural organizing layer.
It helps readers, profiles, generators, and validators understand which verifiable elements belong together.
Examples include groups for subjects, claims, traits, conformance, verification, transformations, mappings, and failure modes.
A component group does not replace element identity.
A verifiable element has its own identity.
A component group provides the grouping context for that element.
Component groups organize the contract.
They do not decide package composition, profile selection, truth, authority, or domain meaning.
