C.11:4.1a - Causal-use hook for choice records

When a choice depends on an effect, intervention, counterfactual, causal-policy, or off-policy claim, the ChoiceResult keeps the decision question local and cites the C.28 support result as one basis.

ChoiceResult.causalUseSpec?:
  causalUseQuestionRef?: CausalUseQuestionRef
  targetCausalityLadderRung: CausalityLadderRung
  causalUseClaimKind: CausalUseClaimKind
  causalActionPolicyClass?: CausalActionPolicyClass
  causalSupportComponentRefs?: CausalSupportComponentRefs
  causalUseEvidenceDesignRef?
  causalUseSupportResultRef?: CausalUseSupportResultRef
  supportedUse
  unsupportedUse

Omit the tail when causal support changes neither the comparison nor the chosen result. If causal wording changes the result, include the tail or downgrade the wording. A C.28 result does not choose, permit, or deploy an option; C.11 uses it with the other decision premises and may still select, defer, or abstain.
