Defined in: shared/forms/field-types.ts:59

A field's cross-version identity for the "a field name's answer shape can't change between versions" guard. Collapses the signature-adopted alias to signature (so the soft migration is a no-op), but keeps signatureMode in the key — a signature field's typed ({ signerName, adopted }) and drawn ({ fileId }) values are structurally different, so flipping the mode is a real answer-shape change and must be treated as a conflict.
