docs: define Second Tier in CONTEXT.md

Browse Source 
The 2026-08-16 Database & Storage audit exposed a vocabulary gap: four adjudicated entries (clickhouse-driver, dogpile.cache, django-cacheops, django-haystack) are neither Obvious Choices nor trajectory-backed Challengers but demoted incumbents occupying Challenger slots, and the sitting had to improvise the term. The maintainer ratified it during review. A demoted incumbent counts against the two Challenger slots, but the adoption-trajectory bar gates only new admissions, not demotions.

Also from the same sitting: psycopg2 was deliberately left unlisted under Database Drivers > PostgreSQL (282M downloads/month as psycopg2-binary, pepy 2026-08-16) because psycopg 3 is the new-work answer and v2 is legacy install base. Recorded here so the next PostgreSQL audit knows it was a decision, not an oversight.

@@ -47,6 +47,9 @@ _Avoid_: One-in-one-out (informal alias)
An entry (at most two per Use Case) that is not yet the Obvious Choice but is a credible successor to one. Marked by ordering, not description: within a Use Case, Obvious Choices are listed first, then Challengers, each tier by PyPI downloads/month descending (no-signal entries last in tier, alphabetically). Admission requires adoption-trajectory evidence, not popularity alone.
_Avoid_: Rising Star (old lane name), Hidden Gem (old lane name — concept removed entirely)
**Second Tier**:
A Challenger slot holding a demoted incumbent instead of a rising successor — a former Obvious Choice or fading community standard an Audit kept below the current Obvious Choices (clickhouse-driver behind the official client, dogpile.cache and django-cacheops behind cachetools and diskcache, django-haystack in Search). It counts against the two Challenger slots and is marked by position like any Challenger; the adoption-trajectory bar gates only new admissions, not demotions.
**Split**:
Maintainer-only restructuring of an oversized Use Case into finer Use Cases (new Subcategories), considered before any trimming when the size reflects genuinely distinct jobs. A submitter's entry PR can never perform a Split.
