tracking marking
Whether this product's individual units carry batch/lot codes or individual serial numbers — a structural capability folded from the trade-instance concern. Lot-tracked (a shared batch code across a production run — food, pharma, cosmetics, regulated chemicals), serial-tracked (a unique number per unit — electronics, appliances, tools), or none. Cardinality many: a product can be both (a lot for the batch, a serial per unit). A governed token, growing (L13). The pool declares the marking CAPABILITY (the grammar); the actual lot/serial strings are realised per-instance values held downstream (L1, the graph/catalogue), never pool terms.
Tracking marking is answered with one word chosen from the tracking markings list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.
