Shield check codes

Every Shield Verify and Shield Scan result ships with a stable code in the format <SV|SC>-<FAMILY>-<NNN>. Codes never change once published, so your risk-engine rules can target them instead of text. The hint is what the client sees; the full operator explanation is available in the report on a paid tier.
