//! Native-capability tables: the reviewable, machine-checkable record of
//! what each agent offers natively, what A4AA adapts, and what is still
//! missing or reached through a non-native mechanism.
//!
//! Every `a4aa-<agent>` crate publishes one [`NativeCapability`] constant.
//! [`a4aa-dialects`] aggregates them. `last_verified` is a `YYYY-MM-DD`
//! date that the release train refuses to ship stale — freshness is a
//! release gate, not a per-commit lint.
