The relationship's FK fields are **derived** from those references (the `identity.reference` SSOT for FK direction), never restated. `@sourceRefField` (optional) disambiguates a *directed* self-join by naming the source-side FK field on the junction (the other reference is the target side). `@symmetric` (optional boolean) marks an *undirected* self-join (union-on-read) — valid only when `@objectRef` == the declaring entity, and mutually exclusive with `@sourceRefField`. The pre-FR-018 `@joinEntity`/`@joinFields` attrs are REMOVED.
