Slot: Reason Quality Flag Column Is Missing (quality_flag_column_missing_reason)

Reason quality_flag_column is null.

Tier: optional

Why this slot matters

Without a stated reason, a missing QA-flag column is ambiguous: the source may publish no flags, or the pipeline may have dropped them. The reason turns a silent gap into a documented decision that a reviewer can check against the upstream product.

In plain terms

When there is no quality-flag column, this slot says why it is absent — for example because the source dataset simply does not publish quality flags.
