---

• Add _to_state helper to safely coerce values (State / int / str) into a State with a fallback.
• Accept custom ava_map / opa_map entries that are strings, ints or State instances (no longer crash on unexpected types or None).
• Allow cleaning_needed rule to be supplied as State/int/str and normalize it (default remains WARN). Small robustness improvements to avoid exceptions when rule values are missing or invalid.
