+/**
+ * Live half of the anchor-evaluation falsification suite (ADR-202 § Scorer
+ * falsification). The deterministic half lives in
+ * `tests/scripts/anchor_eval.test.ts`; this one puts the SAME shape of fixture
+ * in front of the real evaluator models.
+ *
+ * Why it exists: determinism removed `inconsistency_rate`, so nothing else
+ * measures whether the evaluators can tell a satisfied anchor from an
+ * unsatisfied one. Unit tests can only prove the arithmetic below the verdict is
+ * right; they cannot prove the verdict is. An evaluator that answers "yes" to
+ * everything would sail through the unit suite.
+ *
+ * Fixtures are built so the correct answer is not arguable — an answer that
+ * plainly does the thing, and one that plainly does the opposite. An evaluator
+ * that cannot separate those has no business grading the corpus.
+ *
+ * Exit codes: 0 = both evaluators discriminate · 1 = at least one failed · 3 = setup error.
