I’m not sure “allowlist” is the right equivalent, because this isn’t about “allowance” but “this has been shown to work”. So, it might just require an entirely new phrasing.

In an effort to find better terminology and to understand the underlying problems, I found https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/51088/alternative-term-to-blacklist-and-whitelist which suggests using "safelist", which I think might be a better fit?

Makes sense, applied suggestion, thanks for the review! 👍
