Slot: Reason Buffer Radius Is Missing (linkage_buffer_radius_m_missing_reason)

Reason linkage_buffer_radius_m is null.

Tier: optional

Why this slot matters

Distinguishes "no buffer applies because the strategy is point extraction" from "the radius was simply not recorded" — without it a null radius is ambiguous and the linkage cannot be audited.

In plain terms

When the circle-width field is empty, this says why — for example because no circle was used at all.
