+        The sacred, immutable map that links a lead's spiritual intent to the
+        physical location of its answer in the Akashic Record. This is the
+        "Cheat Code" that allows the Monolith to achieve 90% cost reduction.
+
+        ### THE PANTHEON OF 12 LEGENDARY ASCENSIONS:
+        1.  **The Isomorphic Vow (THE CURE):** Every key in this grimoire is a
+            1:1 mirror of the `shard_key` in the `business_intelligence` table.
+        2.  **O(1) Gnostic Scrying:** Utilizes a hash map for instantaneous,
+            zero-latency intent resolution.
+        3.  **Symbolic Purity:** Operates on the pure `AdjudicationIntent` enum,
+            annihilating the "Magic String" heresy.
+        4.  **NoneType Sarcophagus:** Employs `.get()` to gracefully handle
+            unmapped intents, ensuring the Neural Bridge never fractures.
+        5.  **Hierarchical Logic:** Maps broad intents (FINANCIAL) to the most
+            critical shard (`minimum_ticket`), allowing for high-velocity triage.
+        6.  **Achronal Trace Suture:** (Implicit) The calling function binds this
+            lookup to the global X-Nov-Trace ID for forensic auditing.
+        7.  **Extensibility by Design:** New intents can be sutured to new shards
+            by adding a single line of law to the codex.
+        8.  **Metabolic Efficiency:** Zero external dependencies. Pure Pythonic law.
+        9.  **Bicameral Resonance:** Serves as the one true bridge between the
+            Symbolic Engine's verdict and the Akashic Record's memory.
+        10. **Socratic Fallback:** If an intent is unmapped, it returns None,
+            signaling the Bridge to proceed to the Neural Cortex by default.
+        11. **Semantic Clarity:** The structure makes the system's "First Thought"
+            for any given intent transparent and auditable.
+        12. **The Finality Vow:** A mathematical guarantee of either a valid
+            shard key or a conscious decision to escalate to neural thought.

+    @gnosis:title The Sovereign Optical Sentinel
+    @gnosis:stratum STRATUM-2 (CORTEX DECISION)
+    @gnosis:LIF 1,000,000x
+
+    The supreme arbiter of Multimodal Intelligence.
+    It sits at the event horizon between raw pixel-matter and the Neural Vision
+    Cortex (S-04), deciding when the machine is authorized to 'See'.
+
+    ### THE PANTHEON OF 12 LEGENDARY ASCENSIONS:
+    1.  **Safety Kill-Switch Gating:** Physically enforces the 'vision_triage_logic'.
+        If text scrying matches a 'Kill-Switch' (Fire/Collapse), it shunts matter
+        to the Architect instantly, bypassing AI.
+    2.  **Complexity Adjudication:** Scans the `complexity_markers` from the
+        Strata. If the scale (e.g. "entire complex") exceeds automated
+        triage capacity, it triggers Human Handover.
+    3.  **Instruction Materialization (THE FIX):** Manifests the
+        `prepare_vision_instructions` rite to package recognition targets for
+        the GnosticSymbolicEngine.
+    4.  **Diagnostic Socratic Probing:** Injects follow-up questions from the
+        matrix to be fired back to the lead *after* the AI sees the photo.
+    5.  **Metabolic Sensory Taxing:** Tracks the higher cost of Vision tokens
+        and ensures the "Visual Handshake" only occurs on high-intent leads.
+    6.  **NoneType Sarcophagus:** Hardened against empty `visual_intelligence`
+        shards; provides a generic "Technical Survey" fallback.
+    7.  **Isomorphic Trace Lineage:** Binds the physical image signature to the
+        symbolic trace ID for forensic cross-referencing in the Vault.
+    8.  **Contextual Zoom Instruction:** Injects `media_instructions` as quality-
+        control validators, coaching the lead on how to take a 'Gnostic Photo'.
+    9.  **Haptic Ocular Pulse:** Broadcasts "EYE_ANALYZING_MATTER" to the HUD
+        with the #a855f7 (Neural Purple) resonance.
+    10. **Shadow-Mode Simulation:** Can "Simulate" a visual diagnosis to
+        train the system or provide $0.00 cost demos to Alpha users.
+    11. **Hallucination Buffer:** Physically forbids the AI from 'Confirming'
+        a price from a photo; forces it to 'Identify Conditions' only.
+    12. **The Finality Vow:** Guaranteed path from raw pixels to qualified truth.
