Enum: EffectPath

The path through a mediation model represented by an effect's map. Without it, an indirect-effect map is structurally identical to a plain regression on the same predictor, and a synthesis would pool the two.

No not_applicable value is needed: an effect outside a mediated path has no Mediation object or slot to fill.
