Slot: Concept Status (concept_status)

Status of this variable's coverage in the target health-data vocabulary (existing / proposed / gap). Makes the vocabulary gap explicit rather than silent. Required.

Tier: core

Why this slot matters

A downstream system must know whether to expect a concept id. The explicit existing/proposed/gap status makes vocabulary gaps visible and countable rather than silently null — which is what drives vocabulary-extension requests for environmental variables.

In plain terms

A simple status flag saying whether the health-data catalogue already has a code for this measurement, has one in the works, or has nothing yet. It turns a silent gap into an explicit, reportable fact.
