+/**
+ * Core verification helpers: verifyTypes + verifyRuntimeBoot.
+ *
+ * These two functions are the canonical agent-facing evidence-gathering tools
+ * for type-safety and runtime-boot validation in the CLEO monorepo.
+ *
+ * ## `verifyTypes`
+ *
+ * Runs `tsc -b` (the project-reference composite build — the real
+ * cross-package type oracle). Per-package `pnpm build` FALSE-passes
+ * cross-package type breaks because esbuild transpiles without checking;
+ * only `tsc -b` exercises the full type graph.
+ *
+ * ## `verifyRuntimeBoot`
+ *
+ * Performs a cold boot sequence:
+ *   1. `node build.mjs` — rebuilds the CLI bundle from source.
+ *   2. `node packages/cleo/dist/cli/index.js version` — smoke-boots the
+ *      CLI and asserts it exits cleanly.
+ *
+ * This catches circular-import TDZ (temporal dead-zone) errors that are
+ * invisible to both `tsc` and Biome because they are runtime-only
+ * phenomena produced by ESM module evaluation order.
+ *
+ * ## Return contract
+ *
+ * Both functions return a {@link VerifyResult} with a discriminated
+ * `passed` boolean, `durationMs`, and captured `stdout` / `stderr` tails
+ * for actionable diagnostics.  Callers MUST check `passed` before treating
+ * the output as valid.
+ *
+ * ## Regression tests captured
+ *
+ * - `verifyTypes`: dual-ORM-instance type break (two `drizzle-orm` versions
+ *   resolve to different instances — tsc catches the shape mismatch; build passes).
+ * - `verifyRuntimeBoot`: leaf-hoist TDZ (circular dep between a leaf package
+ *   and a re-exported barrel causes the CLI to throw at startup; invisible to tsc).
+ *
+ * @task T11488
+ * @see packages/core/src/tasks/tool-cache.ts — runToolCached (evidence caching layer)
