VAST native human stance annotations, using original comments and topics.

Excludes type_idx=4 synthetic neutral pairs. Keeps native train/dev/test,
complete original comments, annotation IDs and article IDs. Original data:
https://github.com/emilyallaway/zero-shot-stance/tree/master/data/VAST.
Dataset license is unspecified; no code license is applied to the comments.

Original data: [original distribution](https://github.com/emilyallaway/zero-shot-stance). Repackaged as parquet for [tasksource](https://github.com/sileod/tasksource) by [scripts/repackage_dataset/stance.py](https://github.com/sileod/tasksource/blob/main/scripts/repackage_dataset/stance.py#L56).

[Conversion provenance](provenance.json): source revisions, hashes, configuration and exclusions.


## Quality status

Not selected for Tasksource training: coarse review found native training row `18506` explicitly endorsing humans being omnivores but labeled against topic `omnivore` (ListTopic/type 3). Labels are preserved, not repaired. Topic/stance alignment requires further validation before training use.
