/**
* The COPY POOL a posting draws from (data/sidequests.json → descriptions).
*
* THREE-DEEP FALLBACK, fixed order (a board always reads something):
* 1. descriptions.faction.<factionId>.<category> — the FACTION'S OWN voice
* (apex / mindweave / zenith). Each of the nine pools is written in that
* faction's doctrine and names the rival it will actually fight through
* the {enemy} placeholder (the posting's seeded enemyFaction).
* 2. descriptions.faction.<category> — the shared war-voice pool: the
* documented fallback for a faction with no pool of its own (a new
* power, or a hand-edited data file).
* 3. descriptions.neutral.<category> — the neutral voice, last resort.
*
* A pool that stands but is not an array (a typo in the data) falls through
* to the next link rather than posting nothing. Pure in (context, category,
* faction): no RNG, so it never disturbs the posting's seeded draw.
*
* @param {object} ctx postingContext() shape ({ context: 'neutral'|'faction', … })
* @param {string} cat the category id
* @param {string|null} [factionId] the board's faction id (a faction board)
* @returns {object[]} the variant pool ([] = no copy at all)
