-/**
- * FAR / DFARS clause lookup (keyless) — the authoritative clause text + its
- * prescription, from the eCFR **versioner full** endpoint.
- *
- * Why this exists (and why NOT `ecfr_search`)
- * -------------------------------------------
- * The shipped full-text `ecfr_search` mis-ranks EXACT clause numbers: a bare
- * `52.212-4` query returns GSAM **552**.212-4 above the real FAR 52.212-4
- * (doc-09 §1.2). A proposal writer needs the AUTHORITATIVE clause text AND the
- * rule that says WHEN it applies ("As prescribed in …") — the exact pair. The
- * clean path is the versioner full endpoint, which `src/ecfr.ts` does not call:
- *
- *   GET /api/versioner/v1/full/{date}/title-48.xml?section={clause}
- *
- * keyless, HTTP 200 (~40 KB XML) for a real clause, clean HTTP 404
- * `{"error":"No matching content found."}` for an absent one. Title 48 = FAR.
- * `{date}` defaults to Title 48 `up_to_date_as_of` (from listTitles, cached).
- *
- * TRUTHFULNESS invariants (a reviewer WILL try to break these):
- *   - A DOWN/failing eCFR service must NEVER read as "clause not found": only a
- *     genuine HTTP 404 maps to `not_found`; any other fetch error propagates
- *     with fetchWithRetry's classification (retryable 5xx/network/etc.).
- *   - A genuinely-absent clause is `not_found` (retryable:false), NEVER a fake
- *     empty clause. Clause text is never silently dropped or fabricated.
- *   - A prescription-section fetch failure is NON-FATAL: `prescription:null` +
- *     disclosed in `_meta.notes`; it never crashes the clause result.
- *   - `farOverhaulRisk` carries NO fabricated FAR-case numbers/dates — only the
- *     fixed structural caveat + the real authoritative-list / deviation URLs.
- *
- * Self-contained: imports `getText` from ./datasource.js (the shared XML/text
- * fetch port, ADR-0013) + ToolErrorCarrier from ./errors.js, memoize from
- * ./cache.js, listTitles from ./ecfr.js, and withMeta from ./meta.js — the
- * versioner XML parse lives here (ecfr.ts's stripHtml is private and stays
- * private).

+/**
+ * FAR / DFARS clause lookup (keyless) — the authoritative clause text + its
+ * prescription, from the eCFR **versioner full** endpoint.
+ *
+ * Why this exists (and why NOT `ecfr_search`)
+ * -------------------------------------------
+ * The shipped full-text `ecfr_search` mis-ranks EXACT clause numbers: a bare
+ * `52.212-4` query returns GSAM **552**.212-4 above the real FAR 52.212-4
+ * (doc-09 §1.2). A proposal writer needs the AUTHORITATIVE clause text AND the
+ * rule that says WHEN it applies ("As prescribed in …") — the exact pair. The
+ * clean path is the versioner full endpoint, which `src/ecfr.ts` does not call:
+ *
+ *   GET /api/versioner/v1/full/{date}/title-48.xml?section={clause}
+ *
+ * keyless, HTTP 200 (~40 KB XML) for a real clause, clean HTTP 404
+ * `{"error":"No matching content found."}` for an absent one. Title 48 = FAR.
+ * `{date}` defaults to Title 48 `up_to_date_as_of` (from listTitles, cached).
+ *
+ * TRUTHFULNESS invariants (a reviewer WILL try to break these):
+ *   - A DOWN/failing eCFR service must NEVER read as "clause not found": only a
+ *     genuine HTTP 404 maps to `not_found`; any other fetch error propagates
+ *     with fetchWithRetry's classification (retryable 5xx/network/etc.).
+ *   - A genuinely-absent clause is `not_found` (retryable:false), NEVER a fake
+ *     empty clause. Clause text is never silently dropped or fabricated.
+ *   - A prescription-section fetch failure is NON-FATAL: `prescription:null` +
+ *     disclosed in `_meta.notes`; it never crashes the clause result.
+ *   - `farOverhaulRisk` carries NO fabricated FAR-case numbers/dates — only the
+ *     fixed structural caveat + the real authoritative-list / deviation URLs.
+ *
+ * Self-contained: imports `getText` from ./datasource.js (the shared XML/text
+ * fetch port, ADR-0013) + ToolErrorCarrier from ./errors.js, memoize from
+ * ./cache.js, listTitles from ./ecfr.js, and withMeta from ./meta.js — the
+ * versioner XML parse lives here (ecfr.ts's stripHtml is private and stays
