Slot: Reason Buffer Aggregation Is Missing (linkage_buffer_aggregation_method_missing_reason)

Reason linkage_buffer_aggregation_method is null.

Tier: optional

Why this slot matters

Separates "not applicable — no buffer aggregation was performed" from an undocumented gap; without the reason a null method leaves the linkage unauditable.

In plain terms

When the how-values-were-combined field is empty, this says why.
