  "description": "Canonical record of a prediction market question. One row per canonical tradable question; every event has one or more markets attached. The editorial layer that platforms don't ship. Thematic grouping across events is handled via tags, not a hierarchy. API response shape includes derived fields (venues_covered, current_primary_mark) computed at serve time from the normalized 4-table storage. API responses add serve-time fields beyond this canonical schema (_provenance, _notice, and per-endpoint extras).",
