Neuroimaging Paper Parse Schema

The two artifacts the ingestion workflow hands downstream before any language model has read the paper for its study design: the parsed paper (ParsedPaper) and the coordinate parse (CoordinateParse). The extraction record (neuroimaging-study-extraction) and the storage record (neuroimaging-study-storage) both point back into these artifacts -- evidence spans into the parsed paper's text, analyses into the coordinate parse's keys -- so the three schemas live in one repository and are versioned together. A ParsedPaper is what a paper is once it has been downloaded and parsed: one text that every later character offset addresses, its tables row by row, and the bibliographic facts the metadata lookup returned. Every download source (PMC, Europe PMC, pubget, Elsevier, ACE, PDF) emits this one shape, so no consumer needs to know which source a paper came from. A CoordinateParse is the reported coordinates grouped into analyses. Its points are a superset of NIMADS points (coordinates, space, values[{kind, value}]), so the projection to the studyset format NiMARE reads is a field copy. NIMADS itself is not extended: it is the meta-analysis interchange, and the parse needs table rows, keys, a sign split and a revision history that a studyset has no use for. Two producers write a CoordinateParse. The ingestion workflow writes the original, whose grouping of rows into analyses is a proposal. pondie audits each grouping while it extracts the whole record, and where its verdict differs it writes a revision: a complete CoordinateParse naming the parse it revises and one verdict per original analysis. The revision supersedes the original, and is uploaded with pondie's record so the stored analyses match the analyses the record describes.
