+/**
+ * nexus-consensus.ts
+ * ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ * Nexus Consensus Engine — layered ADDITIVELY over hydra-reader.ts.
+ *
+ * FIVE ORIGINAL SUBSYSTEMS (composed for this module):
+ *   1. Cross-Source Claim Triangulation (CSCT)
+ *      - Split extracted evidence into claim atoms (sentence granularity).
+ *      - Compute 128-bit SimHash per atom (via hydra's simhash128).
+ *      - LSH-band each fingerprint into 4×32-bit bands; two atoms are
+ *        "co-buckable" iff any band matches. This is O(N·b) not O(N²).
+ *      - Retain edges only when the two endpoints originate from
+ *        DIFFERENT sources (cross-source constraint).
+ *      - Union-Find clusters; consensus confidence:
+ *            c = min(1, distinctSources/N) · avgPairwiseSim · srcEntropy
+ *      Citations: Indyk & Motwani 1998 (LSH bands); Charikar 2002 (SimHash,
+ *      DOI 10.1145/509907.509965); Tarjan 1975 (Union-Find).
+ *   2. Federated Peer Cache (FPC) — BroadcastChannel gossip + IndexedDB.
+ *   3. In-Flight Coalescer — Map<canonicalUrl, Promise> dedup.
+ *   4. Merkle Evidence Manifest (MEM) — SHA-256 DAG w/ inclusion proofs.
+ *   5. Content Drift Detector — SimHash-128 historical comparison.
+ *
+ * SECURITY POSTURE: composes over hydraRead/hydraSearch (URL trust boundary,
+ * streaming byte ceilings, credentials:omit, redirect:manual, injection
+ * quarantine, restricted markdown). Quarantined sources NEVER enter the
+ * consensus graph. Peer payloads are re-quarantined before adoption.
+ *
+ * ZERO KEY, ZERO SERVER, ZERO NEW NPM DEPENDENCY.
+ *
+ * ── INTEGRATION DEFECT CORRECTIONS (3, documented, behavior-preserving) ────
+ *   [FIX-A] triangulateClaims: `for (const [root, members] of clusterMap)`
+ *           left `root` unused → TS6133 under this repo's noUnusedLocals.
+ *           Corrected to `for (const [, members] of clusterMap)`.
+ *   [FIX-B] emitEvidenceBlock: `question` param was never read → TS6133 under
+ *           noUnusedParameters. Renamed `_question` (TS ignores _-prefixed).
+ *   [FIX-C] nexusRead coalescer invoked run() TWICE (once to seed `inFlight`,
+ *           once in `return await run()`), double-fetching every target and
+ *           defeating the coalescer's stated purpose. Corrected to a single
+ *           shared promise. This is a pure bug fix; no capability is reduced.
