Nielsen DCR cfg pings need apid

Nielsen documents apid as the assigned App ID on SDK initialize. The cfg hello ping carries it. sfcode is dcr in production and dcr-cert while Nielsen is certifying.

sfcode=prod is not a documented environment

Nielsen documents dcr and dcr-cert. Ads audit is vendor/nielsen-audit. DCR measurement on /cgi-bin/gn is not this pack.

Rules

Codes are stable. A finding in CI, MCP, or the playground lands on the same id.

Field	Required	What it checks	Rule ids	Source
`apid`	required	It is the Nielsen-assigned App ID. Nielsen documents apid as required on SDK initialize, and the cfg hello ping carries it. Fix: Set apid to the App ID Nielsen assigned during onboarding.	`vendor.nielsen.param.apid.missing` `vendor.nielsen.param.apid.empty`	docs
`apn`	recommended	It is the client-defined player or site name. Nielsen documents apn as required on initialize. Fix: Send apn as a stable name for the player or site.	`vendor.nielsen.param.apn.missing` `vendor.nielsen.param.apn.empty`	docs
`sfcode`	recommended	It selects the collection environment. Nielsen documents dcr for production and dcr-cert for testing. Fix: Send sfcode=dcr in production, or dcr-cert while Nielsen is certifying the integration.	`vendor.nielsen.param.sfcode.missing` `vendor.nielsen.param.sfcode.empty` `vendor.nielsen.param.sfcode.invalid`	docs
