+ * outputEnforcement — what the `outputSchema` contract does INSIDE the run.
+ *
+ * Pattern: an authored envelope around an untrusted payload (the same shape
+ *          `window/summarize` uses), plus one writer for one committed key
+ *          (the same rule `middleware/ledger` follows).
+ * Role:    core/ layer. Until 7.26 the schema was checked once, after the run
+ *          was over, by `runTyped()`. That is a fine place to JUDGE an answer
+ *          and a useless place to FIX one: the loop has stopped, the model is
+ *          gone, and all the caller can do is throw. This module holds the
+ *          pieces that let the loop ask again — the corrective message, the
+ *          ledger row, and the synthetic tool the `'tool-forced'` strategy
+ *          puts on the wire.
+ * Emits:   N/A — the Route decider and the retry stage emit; this file only
+ *          builds values and commits rows.
+ *
+ * ## Why the failed answer is put into the conversation
+ *
+ * Nothing writes the answering turn back into `scope.history` — the loop
+ * appends an assistant turn only when it carries tool calls. So a corrective
+ * message sent on its own would arrive at a model that cannot see what it
+ * said, and "your answer failed the schema" would be teaching into the void.
+ * The retry stage appends BOTH: the answer that failed, then the correction.
+ * That is also what makes the retry legible afterwards — the conversation
+ * says what was answered, what was wrong with it, and what came back.
+ *
+ * ## Why the frame comes first and nothing follows the error
+ *
+ * The validator's message is DATA. A schema authored elsewhere (or a parser
+ * that formats an error out of model output) can put anything in it,
+ * including text shaped like an instruction. So the library's own words come
+ * FIRST, say what the following text is, and nothing authored is appended
+ * after it — there is no trailing sentence for injected text to pre-empt.
+ * Identical reasoning, identical shape, to the compaction frame.
