Allows VCs to reference the bundled urn:cid: contexts (e.g. the IG common context) so their custom evidence terms expand during JSON-LD canonicalization instead of erroring with "Unknown context". Default-issued VCs are unchanged — they still ship just credentials/v2 + security/v2; the loader only matters for VCs that explicitly include a urn:cid context in their @context array. Adds a verify_vc test covering that case. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The
evidencefields have a JSON-LD schema, it's just referenced byurn:cid. This makes VCs that have that schema (future vcomp VCs will do this) valid. This has no effect on VCs that don't referenceurn:cidso it's quite a safe change.PR code written by Claude, this text written by me
