Detailed Description

A registered family's descriptor: its complete identity.

name is the on-disk token (the part before the colon in a gate_rv extra); factory constructs an instance from the parsed parameters; label / param_names are the display metadata UI clients (ProvSQL Studio) read through provsql.rv_families() – a short glance-recognisable glyph for a node circle (e.g. "N", "Exp", "Γ") and the conventional parameter symbols in extra order (e.g. {"μ", "σ"}; the second entry is nullptr for a 1-parameter family). Purely presentational choices beyond these (colours, geometry) stay client-side.

Each family implementation file defines exactly ONE descriptor with static storage duration and registers its address, so the pointer is an interned family identity (this is what DistributionSpec and Distribution::family() carry; there is no family enum to extend).
