## Source (`kind` YAML, verbatim)

```yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=../schema/kind.schema.json
# A policy attachment covering resources rather than a device on a traffic path, so firewall cannot express it. alwaysOn and scope have no default because a plan that never states what it covers is the finding.
