+ * Runs a suite of compliance tasks against both the original and optimized

+ * score deltas and per-dimension adherence rate deltas.
+ *
+ * **Content-aware executors**: If the executor implements `IContentAwareExecutor`,

+ *
+ * The result includes:
+ * - Per-dimension concordance (did score and adherence move together?)
+ * - Pearson r and Spearman rho correlation coefficients
+ * - Cohen's d effect size with interpretation
+ * - A verdict: positive-effect, negative-effect, no-effect, or inconclusive
+ * - A formatted report with full task breakdown
