+  (USERDATA) into absolute paths (slash algebra — `path.Join`, never `filepath`); filters by the
+  tier column of §2 (`TierOffsite` = mandatory only; `TierSecondary` = mandatory + optional;
+  excluded is silently dropped). Each `CapturePath` carries `{Abs, Root, RelPath, Class}` (the
+  relpath is what the tier-2 layout and restore need).
+- The former `UnitOnly` field is replaced by **`HasClassification`** (it mirrors the classifier's
+  existing bool); engines derive unit-only as `!HasClassification || len(Paths)==0`. When
+  `hasClassification == false` the function short-circuits to `{HasClassification:false}` — nothing
+  resolved, `Paths`/`Skipped` nil — so the legacy path stays byte-identical and testable (the SQ5
+  cost-regression guard: an unmigrated app never resolves a bind into an automatic tier).
+- **`Skipped`** carries would-be captures the tier filter selected but that are structurally unsafe,
+  each with an English `Reason`, so the pure function stays log-free (engines log a skipped
+  **mandatory** as a loud capture GAP). Three structural guards, evaluated after the tier filter:
+  traversal (a `..` path segment or an absolute RelPath — **load-bearing because the compose parser
+  path.Cleans but does NOT reject `..`, and `ValidateBackupSpec` only vets *spec* entries, so an
+  unlisted writable `${HDD_PATH}/../x` bind arrives classed mandatory**), bare HDD drive-root
+  (RelPath `""` — would nest `<hddPath>/backups` into the capture), and the reserved `backups/`
+  zone; a bare **userdata** root (`<hddPath>/userdata`) is allowed (it does not nest `backups/`).
+- After filtering+guards: an equal-`Abs` collision from two binds collapses to one entry with
+  **mandatory winning** over optional (mandatory semantics never degrade); then **containment
+  dedup** drops any path whose ancestor is already in the set (keep the ancestor); output is sorted
+  by `Abs` (deterministic despite map/slice input).
+- `CrossAppOverlaps(map[app]CaptureSet) []Overlap` is shipped here as a **pure** function (exact-Abs
+  match across ≥2 apps' `Paths`; cross-app *containment* is legitimate per §4 and is NOT an overlap).
+  Its WARN **wiring** lands in 3a/3b, not in 3-core — no log call sites exist yet.
+- Pure: no FS, no docker, no logging (the Tasks 1/2 leaf-package discipline). The stat-filter
+  (decision 2.5) lives in the engines, not here.
+- Companion red-proofs: (a) sonarr with no block must produce unit-only (`HasClassification:false`,
+  empty `Paths`) for offsite (the SQ5 cost-regression guard — the test that fails if the two-level
+  default is miswired); (b) immich's explicit-optional `:ro` external library must appear in
+  tier-2's set and NOT in offsite's; (c) paperless's `export` must appear in no automatic tier.
 
 The engines consume the existing wired seam `GetStackClassifiedBinds` (main.go ~L1106) — no new
 seam. Per the F-S3 lesson, 3-core still ships an end-to-end wiring test through a real Manager.
