/**
 * The two axes a competition or a team varies on: `gender` × `squad`.
 *
 * They are two fields because one could not hold both. The single `category`
 * (men | women | youth) they replaced said age or gender and dropped the
 * other, and both collections were paying for it:
 *
 *   - 202 production teams are women + youth and surfaced as `youth`,
 *     indistinguishable from the 1,007 men's youth sides.
 *   - 10 leagues carry both a gender and an age marker in their name and were
 *     filed INCONSISTENTLY IN BOTH DIRECTIONS — "World Cup - U17 - Women" as
 *     `women`, "CONMEBOL - U17 Femenino" as `youth`. Same shape, two answers.
 *   - Reserve competitions had nowhere to go at all: Belgium's Reserve Pro
 *     League and the Belarus, Netherlands and Argentina Reserve Leagues all
 *     sat as `men`, level with a senior second tier.
 *
 * Teams settled the shape on 2026-08-05 and this module is that decision made
 * shared. `category` was kept alongside as a derived value while the consumers
 * moved across, and C6 deleted it.
