// pattern-matched

tools that the manifest-classifier flagged as plausibly useful here but that aren't in the hand-curated lists above. less editorial weight — scan, don't work top-down.

want deeper DNS security coverage?

this vertical is intentionally sparse — deep-moat coverage grows over time. tracked in the forensics rollout.
