// Recommendation is a qualitative confidence tier for a group's
// ranked candidates — the piece a raw score can't express on its
// own.  Modeled on beets' Recommendation enum: the tier starts from
// the top candidate's absolute score and is then CAPPED by defects
// (ambiguity with a different release group, missing/unmatched
// tracks, thin evidence).  Auto-accept (plan 011) should require
// RecommendationStrong; the review UI can badge the rest.
