## Field Notes

* `form_data` is JSONB containing the actual submission values keyed by field UUID. Use `form_fields` to interpret the keys.
* `meta` is JSONB with submission context (source, device, etc.).
* `structure` on `form_version` is JSONB defining the form layout and field configuration.
* The `form_version → form` join provides the parent form metadata (name, type, active status).
