+/**
+ * Issue #1575 PR 2 — extraction-side post-parse validator + end-to-end
+ * verified-span chain.
+ *
+ * Unit tests cover `buildFactProvenance` (the pure validator that locates
+ * each fact's LLM-provided `quote` in the buffered turns). Integration tests
+ * prove verified spans survive extraction → storage → readAllMemories (the
+ * memory_get read path).
+ *
+ * Fixtures per the issue's PR 2 spec:
+ *   - quote located exactly (exact substring → verified + offsets)
+ *   - located after whitespace normalization (collapse runs → verified)
+ *   - multi-source fact (two turns → two sources)
+ *   - unicode (curly quotes, emoji) round-trip
+ *   - quote not present in any turn → unverified
+ *   - quote longer than cap → truncated with ellipsis marker
+ *   - LLM omits quote → none, no crash
+ *   - provenance disabled → no sources (byte-identical to pre-feature)
