+/** Verification Gate — Layer 1 cross-round consistency checks.
+ *
+ * Pure-function module. Validates an agent's SelfEvaluation against the
+ * loop's own lineage before it enters the compiler.
+ *
+ * Verdict semantics:
+ * - trusted:      all checks passed; flags are informational only.
+ * - suspect:      one or more warn-level flags; flags become warnings in
+ *                 the next prompt so the agent can clarify.
+ * - contradicted: one or more error-level flags; the quality score for
+ *                 this round is excluded from the quality trend (NOT
+ *                 modified). Flags become hard constraints — the agent
+ *                 must respond in the next round.
