+// esoteric-catalog-schema.ts — typed schema for occult/western-esoteric track entries.
+//
+// Parallel to mythology-catalog-schema.ts (B-0056) but targeting the esoteric/occult
+// tradition family. Uses the same three-filter discipline (F1/F2/F3) and the same
+// seven structural types from the operational-resonance collection index.
+//
+// Key difference from mythology track: the "tradition" dimension reflects lineage within
+// Western esotericism (hermetic, kabbalistic, thelemic, jungian-alchemy, ...) rather than
+// the mythology track's polytheistic-tradition families (norse, greek, egyptian, ...).
+// F3 strength calibration differs: many esoteric traditions lack the textual density of
+// major world religions, so F3 partial is the norm rather than the exception.
+//
+// Seed entries (strongest F2 candidates per B-0057 backlog row pre-assessment):
+//   EST-001 — Hermetic "as above, so below" (Tabula Smaragdina) — macro-micro-correspondence
+//   EST-002 — Lurianic tzimtzum (Kabbalistic contraction) — withdrawal-ground → generative-ground
+//   EST-003 — Jung's coniunctio (alchemical union-of-opposites) — psychologized-tradition → paired-dual
+//   EST-004 — Thelemic True Will — F2-weak candidate, recorded per filter-failure-rate discipline
+//
+// Usage (type-check only):
+//   bun --check tools/resonance/esoteric-catalog-schema.ts
