Screen a name against sanctions / PEP lists

POST 

/v2/aml/screen

Advisory AML/PEP screening via the self-hosted OpenSanctions/yente instance. Never hard-blocks — a match returns review_required for a human to clear; a clean result returns clear; if the screening provider is unavailable it returns screening_unavailable (treat as not-yet-screened, retry). The result is persisted and linked to customer_id.

Status: in progress. The sanctions index is live (≈292k entities — UN, EU, US OFAC and more), but the full PEP/legislator collection is not loaded yet (the data server lacks the resources to index the entire OpenSanctions dataset), so screening may miss politically exposed persons. Treat output as a work-in-progress signal, not a complete compliance check.
