      summary: Per-category scoring methodology + version registry
      description: Public registry of methodology versions (effective windows, changelogs, and dated corrections) plus the per-category dimension weight vectors in force. At most one version is in force at any instant, and current_version is null if the registry has a gap. The weight vectors are not versioned, so scores written under a superseded version cannot be reconstructed from this endpoint; each version reports this as `reconstructible`.

      summary: Vault composite scoring methodology — the four risk vectors
      description: 'The published vault score is a weighted composite of four risk vectors: Asset (30%), Platform (30%), Control (20%) and History (20%). This endpoint publishes those weights, what each vector measures, the registered methodology version and its provenance hash, the penalty-only History overlay targeting 25% sensitivity around a neutral History score of 10 (applied to the unrounded composite, then rounded once), and the post-composite caps that can lower the resulting score. Weights come from the same frozen constant the scoring engine aggregates, so this cannot drift from what actually ran.'
