 * Server-side issuer-selection policy, ported from the legacy gmail-listener

 * In the v2 split (see docs/multi-tenant-gmail-listener/business-recognition-plan.md,

 * addresses — header-derived (`from`, `replyTo`, …) plus any `From: <mailto:…>`
 * links found in the body — as sender evidence. The selection policy that decides
 * *which* address identifies the issuing business stays here, next to the
 * `suggestion_data.emails` lookup it feeds, as the single DB-adjacent source of
 * truth.
