Description

as I stated in https://github.com/ossf/security-baseline/pull/427/files#r2565105191, when doing these mappings, I'd sort them into COMPLETE (coverage), PARTIAL (Coverage), SUPPORTS (as I feel the case is here), or N/A NONE (does not apply). If any of the 1st three states were triggered as I was doing my review, I'd "map" it. If we want to, we all could go back and refactor all of our mappings to show how strong the connection is to the framework under consideration. I'm unsure how that might complicate things, but if the team is interested in pursuing that, I certainly would be glad to contribute.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the discussion in PRs #427 and #431, especially the referenced review comments, then inspect how mapping applicability is currently represented in the repository. Define how mappings should distinguish COMPLETE, PARTIAL, SUPPORTS, and N/A NONE, and confirm that the intended scope includes refactoring existing mappings before making changes.
