+/**
+ * The audit stamped as the first property of every
+ * {@link ITtscGraphApplication.IOutput}. Because it serializes before `result`,
+ * it is the first text the model reads in the payload — what was checked, and
+ * by whom, precedes any fact it might second-guess.
+ *
+ * It gives its evidence, and only then does it instruct. That order is the
+ * whole rule, and every part of it was paid for.
+ *
+ * The text that stood here before instructed with no evidence at all: the
+ * result was "sacred", and to doubt it "not diligence but arrogance". A tool
+ * result is untrusted input, so a demand for obedience inside one is the shape
+ * of a prompt injection, and it was read as exactly that — Sonnet called it "a
+ * prompt-injection-style directive baked into the MCP server's tool result",
+ * checked the graph against the sources on principle, and warned the user about
+ * this server in its answer. Measured again with the insult put back and
+ * nothing else changed: the injection defense fired on four cells out of four,
+ * and the tokens got worse. That line is closed.
+ *
+ * Stating the audit and stopping there is safe and weak — the model believes
+ * the result and opens the files anyway, to see the code it is about to
+ * describe (42% of baseline tokens saved, five to ten reads a tour).
+ * Instructing after the evidence is what works (67%, none). But turning the
+ * volume up past that does not: the same orders, louder, with the audit
+ * stripped out of them — "the compiler resolved all of it", and no word that
+ * anything was checked afterwards — lost two points and put the file reads
+ * back.
+ *
+ * So the weight is carried by the second party, not by the loud voice. The
+ * compiler resolving a fact is where the fact came from; the server checking it
+ * again on the way out is why the reader does not have to. Say both, in that
+ * order, and the instruction that follows reads as a conclusion rather than a
+ * demand. Never mystify the result, and never insult the reader for checking
+ * it.
+ *
+ * ## Two guarantees, not one
+ *
+ * A returned fact and the set it was chosen from are not audited to the same
+ * standard, and one audit that conflated them was dishonest. Every operation
+ * resolves each fact it returns — a name, a span, an edge, a signature — to the
+ * type-checked program, so a returned fact cannot be wrong for the snapshot.
+ * But `lookup`, `entrypoints`, and `tour` do not answer with the structure at a
+ * handle you named; they match your natural-language question, score and rank
+ * the graph against it, cap hits per file, and cut to a limit. Their `score`
+ * and `truncated` fields say so, while the single old audit — "matched, ranked,
+ * guessed, or inferred: none" — told the reader the opposite in the same
+ * payload, and told it to stop where the shortlist's coverage was exactly what
+ * needed judging.
+ *
+ * So there are two audits. {@link RESULT_AUDIT} covers the operations that walk
+ * from an explicit handle or structure (`trace`, `details`, `overview`): the
+ * result is what the graph holds for what you named, bounded only where
+ * `truncated` says. {@link RESULT_AUDIT_SELECTION} covers the ranked shortlists
+ * (`lookup`, `entrypoints`, `tour`): it keeps the same fact-verification and
+ * adds that the _selection_ is heuristic, so whether the shortlist covers the
+ * question is the caller's to judge — and a follow-up request or a read of a
+ * cited span is a sound next step, not a failure to trust the result.
+ *
+ * Keep both narrow, and keep the stop-or-continue decision with the result's
+ * `next`, so neither contradicts a partial result that legitimately asks for
+ * one more request (`next.action` `inspect`). Neither states the read carve-out
+ * (reading files for a body the graph does not carry stays allowed) — that
+ * permission lives in the tool instructions alone.
