/**
 * Neutral document paths: documentation-like project files that Comet keeps
 * outside implementation writes and check inputs by default, so editing a
 * README or a docs page cannot invalidate recorded evidence or a verified
 * candidate on its own.
 *
 * A path is neutral when it carries a documentation extension at the
 * repository root or inside a documentation directory, or matches a root
 * license/credits file, and does not fall inside a caller-declared protected
 * prefix. Comet formal artifacts are always passed as protected prefixes;
 * they stay fully bound regardless of this default. Explicit declarations
 * that bind stricter scopes (check-policy `files`, strict config modes) keep
 * their exact semantics — neutrality is a default, not an override.
