+ * Goal acceptance domain: the board's evaluator-backed certification layer for
+ * task executions that run in goal form.
+ *
+ * The board owns WHEN acceptance runs (the goal's completion gate), the
+ * per-cycle budget, the feedback it returns, the settlement rule and the
+ * report. The algorithm it runs is the DEFAULT final acceptance of the
+ * installed `dsh-llm-verifier` 0.8.4 (MIT), mirrored here rather than imported:
+ * that plugin is a third-party plugin, not a dependency of this repository, and
+ * a host half may only depend on the official `@deepseek-ai/*` SDK.
+ *
+ * Mirrored contract, byte-identical where the judge prompt depends on it:
+ * the three coding criteria of `DEFAULT_CRITERIA` (`CRITERIA_PRESETS.coding`),
+ * the 20-letter A-T scale, the required `<score_A>`/`<score_B>` verdict tags,
+ * the untrusted-evidence framing, `EMPTY_WORK_BASELINE` as candidate B, two
+ * rounds per criterion with the A/B slots swapped on the odd round, per-round
+ * scores mapped back to the caller's slots and averaged per criterion, and the
+ * pass rule `winner === 'A' && total >= threshold && every criterion >= threshold`.
+ *
+ * This module is framework-free (no cordis, no SDK imports) so the whole rule
+ * set is unit-testable in isolation; the model call itself lives in the host
+ * half (`src/host/verification-runner.ts`).
