hi Tony,
Looks good. Thank you for adding the new type here.
It would be nice to have a test coverage here, but I think we need to wait with that till we get an actual flag of that type.
A small quibble: I don’t like the inconsistencies in that file's comments, but that’s a pre-existing condition, so you did the right thing by following the pattern.
I can sponsor this fix for you if you need it.
cheers
