Implementation Constraints

Operational role: regulator. Implementation mode: genetically encoded. Cofactor status: cofactor requirement unknown. Primary input modality: light.
Needs compatible illumination hardware and optical access. Independent follow-up evidence is still limited. Validation breadth across biological contexts is still narrow. Independent reuse still looks limited, so the evidence base may be fragile. No canonical validation observations are stored yet, so context-specific performance remains under-specified.
