Document classification slugs that match this group. When a document is uploaded and classified as one of these slugs, the group’s check_config and recency_config apply.

check_configlist of lists of strings or null

Override the verification check suite for documents matched to this group. Each entry is a [check_name, category, requirement] tuple. Highest priority — beats document-type and org-level overrides.

recency_configobject or null

Recency rule applied to documents in this group. When enabled is true, the recency_check reads the issue date from the document’s extracted_fields (issue_date, statement_date, effective_date, or document_date) and fails the check if the document is older than max_age_days.
