Get the KNOWN (curated) neurotransmitter(s) for a Drosophila neuron class and its subclasses, from the ontology's classification rather than per-instance predictions — so there is no confidence. Use this for "what neurotransmitter is <cell type> known to use?" when you want the curated/established answer. Returns one row per (cell type, neurotransmitter): {cell_type_id, cell_type, nt_id, nt_label}, where the neurotransmitter is a GO secretion term (same id space as get_predicted_neurotransmitters). Empty when the ontology asserts none — in that case try get_predicted_neurotransmitters for the data-driven prediction. CONSTRAINTS: neuron class terms only (FBbt id or label); use search_terms with filter_types ["neuron","class"] to canonicalize.
