+// scripts/bongos/grade-correlation-audit.js — do the grader's panel workers fail
+// DIFFERENTLY, or are we paying four times for two votes? (task 1002843,
+// ADR 0089 §5 — the structural answer to "Nine Judges, Two Effective Votes").
+//
+// WHY. Aggregation cannot manufacture independence a panel does not have. ADR
+// 0089 therefore makes panel composition a measured choice, and nothing measured
+// it: /grade-audit and /grader-health are qualitative sweeps with no inter-judge
+// statistics. This reads PERSISTED grades — never re-grades, never spawns a
+// model, never writes anything — and reports:
+//   (a) pairwise agreement between the panel workers on the same task: raw
+//       agreement, Cohen's kappa (agreement corrected for chance) and the phi
+//       correlation of their objections;
+//   (b) each worker's Cohen's kappa against the OWNER'S decisions;
+//   (c) which workers look redundant with another and which carry independent
+//       signal, plus the panel's effective number of independent votes.
+//
+// A VOTE is binary: a worker OBJECTS (verdict concerns or fail) or CLEARS (pass).
+// A worker that errored without a finding produced no signal and casts no vote
+// on that task — the same missing-signal rule the gate applies (#473). The
+// deterministic pseudo-judges and the non-gating reader are not voters.
+//
+// THE OWNER'S DECISIONS — the only labels used, per the task:
+//   accept   an approved override request, or a manual confirm of work whose
+//            stored grade did not pass (task confirmed/shipped anyway);
+//   reject   a denied override request.
+// A passing grade that auto-landed is NOT a label: that is the grader agreeing
+// with itself, and counting it would inflate every worker's kappa. The labelled
+// set is therefore a selected one — tasks the panel did not pass, plus the ones
+// someone argued with — and the report says so.
+//
+// THE MINIMUM-N GUARD. Every statistic is REFUSED, with the reason, below
+// MIN_N observations or when either side has fewer than MIN_PER_CLASS of a
+// class (a kappa over a constant rater is undefined, and one over five labels is
+// noise). --min-n may raise the bar, never lower it. Report-only: no gate reads
+// this, and nothing changes status (ADR 0162).
+//

+//        pull the N most recently finished tasks' grades (default 400) + the
