//
// Deliberately absent:
//   - id / organization_id / project_id — tenancy is the caller's concern.
//   - enabled — filtering disabled rows is the caller's concern; a rule that
//     reaches Payload is a rule that runs.
//
// A row with rule_type='builtin' is accepted and treated as a no-op reference:
// the built-in floor is unconditional, so such a row can neither add to nor
// subtract from it.
