Region Catalog Audit (Read-Only)

Core Concept

There is one canonical market taxonomy: cogni-workspace/references/supported-markets-registry.json — codes, names, locales, currencies, languages, regional qualifiers, regulatory bodies, and the authority-domain set per market.

Two plugins layer plugin-specific operational metadata on top via overlays:

• cogni-research/references/market-sources.json — per-market vocabulary_hints, local_query_tips, region_qualifiers (search-query format), local_language, plus authority_metadata{} keyed by domain (category, authority tier, search pattern).
• cogni-trends/skills/trend-research/references/region-authority-sources.json — per-market site_searches[] keyed by Smarter Service dimension, regulatory_search, org_size_reference, plus region_qualifiers, local_language, regulatory_bodies.
