Defined in: shared/forms/field-types.ts:47

Canonical field type for identity comparisons. signature-adopted is the legacy alias for signature (typed mode) — collapsing it here lets the builder migrate the alias to signature on the next save without the server's historical type-conflict guard (validateFieldKeyTypes) flagging the change. Add future aliases here so both the client normalizer and the server comparison agree.
