Enum: UnreportedReason

Why a slot carries no value, when the reason is not the plain one. A qualifier on extraction_status: not_reported, never a second way to record silence -- missingness keeps one encoding, and a query asking what is missing still asks extraction_status alone. Omitted for plain silence, and that is the whole of the plain case: not_reported already says the attribute was examined and no value was found in the available source, so a token repeating it would add a word and no fact. What these four add is the cases that reading alone does not settle -- the source discusses the attribute without resolving it, the value is on a page this pass cannot read, the source defers to another publication, or the pass could not work it out. The last is a defect and the first three are not, and before this they were all one answer.

permissible_values:
  ambiguous:
    text: ambiguous
    description: The source addresses the attribute but settles on no single value
      -- two figures that disagree, or a range where the slot takes a point value.
      Something was read here; it did not resolve.
  outside_text:
    text: outside_text
    description: 'Stated in a part of the source this pass cannot read: a figure,
      a table available only as an image, a supplement that was not fetched. The value
      exists on the page and the page was not legible, which is a fact about the input
      rather than about the article.'
  cited_elsewhere:
    text: cited_elsewhere
    description: 'The source gives the attribute by reference to another publication
      rather than stating it -- "acquisition parameters as described in [12]". Common
      in methods sections, and not silence: the article says where the answer is.'
  undetermined:
    text: undetermined
    description: 'The pass could not settle the attribute and is not claiming the
      article is silent. The one value here that reports on the extraction rather
      than on the source, and the one a later pass should revisit: recording it is
      how a pass declines without the decline being mistaken for a finding.'
