Response example coming

Every identity check returns the same envelope โ€” status, data.status (found or not_found), and the fields specific to this check. We have not yet captured a live response for this endpoint: the provider's upstream source was unavailable throughout our verification run, so rather than publish an invented payload we have left it out. The request contract above is confirmed correct.
