  "note": "Hand-curated, authoritative data for core crops, merged into the generated catalog by gen_species_catalog.dart. For a listed species the curated common names win (placed first, never dropped by the vernacular filter), and its family/viability_years override Wikidata; Wikidata still enriches with additional languages. A curated species is always kept even if it would miss the relevance floor. `viability_years` is public-domain agricultural-extension seed longevity (Wikidata has none); a conservative single value used to warn about aging lots. Extend this list to pin the names of species that matter to your community.",
