Description

Right now we use "WD", "ECSN", "CCSN", "P(P)ISN" but there are ideas to be able to say
"ECSN", "succ_CC", "failed_CC"

minor: we can maybe even change the namins "SN_type" to sth like "End_outcome" (taking into account that maybe do not have a SN, and maybe not even a core-collapse for low masses)

THis is connected with #786 Maltsev+2025 prescription too, where there is the possibility for SN with BH formation.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing SN_type definition and the related Maltsev+2025 prescription in issue #786. Resolve whether the outcome should distinguish successful and failed core-collapse supernovae, account for black-hole formation, and be renamed to End_outcome; done means the project has an agreed definition and terminology.
