+When Delegate returns `failure.next_action: "recheck"`, use the same root and
+exact task ID:
+
+```sh
+delegate --root "${DELEGATE_ROOT:-$HOME/delegation-state}" recheck TASK_ID --json
+```
+
+This command checks the already sealed evidence with an explicitly compatible
+new interpreter. It does not run the provider, contact a service, spend model
+tokens, or change the original outcome.

+  returned for that recheck. Report that the answer was recovered from saved

+- Exit `4` with `recheck.status: "rejected"`: report the diagnostic and stop.
+- Exit `1` or `2`, or any response without a verified recovered answer:
+  report the error and stop. Do not read raw streams as a substitute answer,

+Keep the assessment ID and source/target descriptors with the result. Do not
