Description

So we have

affected:ranges:events:introduced
affected:ranges:events:fixed
affected:ranges:events:last_affected
affected:ranges:events:limit

but we're missing a "notaffected" or "unaffected" as in "we checked and we're not affected at all", e.g. data from the CISA log4j repo:

https://github.com/kurtseifried/log4j-affected-db/blob/develop/data/cisagov.yml

cves:
cve-2021-4104:
investigated: true
affected_versions: []
fixed_versions: []
unaffected_versions: - '>= 1.0.0'

cve-2021-44228:
investigated: true
affected_versions: []
fixed_versions: []
unaffected_versions: - '>= 1.0.0'

So I'd like to propose a "notaffected" tag.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the existing affected:ranges entries and the linked CISA YAML example, then determine the intended semantics of a notaffected tag. Done means the schema behavior for explicitly checked, unaffected ranges is defined and validated.
