A species defaults to sellable because most are and requiring the field would be noise. A group defaults to NOT a completable set because the two mistakes are not equally bad: a group wrongly marked collectible shows the player a set that is already complete (`birds`, one member) or one they cannot realistically finish (`mammals`, fourteen), and both read as the game being broken. A group wrongly left off simply does not offer a goal yet. Opt in when the group is genuinely a set worth finishing."

      "description": "A group a species can belong to — a family (canines), a habit (nocturnal), or a place (woodland). Published in the game's own repo (did:plc:ollch4g7tes2reb5eceiwuol); record.index:pet.trezy.group refuses the rest. GROUPS OVERLAP BY DESIGN: a wolf cub is a mammal AND a canine AND woodland, and all three are true at once. That is what lets the vocabulary mix levels — a class next to a family next to a behaviour — without any of them being wrong, which a single field forcing one bucket per species could not do."
