+"""Tech Lead redesign — adjudication protocol v2
+(honest-negatives solution §3.3 + §3.5, owner-adopted
+2026-11-04; owner decision 2026-11-05 to proceed with the
+redesign despite the §3.7 tally's small residual).
+
+Protocol v1 (`core.shadow_adjudicate`) let the seat choose
+"escalate" and "needs_probe" as outputs. The acceptance run
+showed what that buys: 36 of 48 baselines escalated, 23 of
+them with no stated reason in the record — escalation was
+the seat's standing answer because the rubric priced it as
+the cheap error (§3.1). This module is the structural
+redesign. The seat's job is narrowed to judgement; every
+routing decision moves into the harness, where it is
+deterministic and auditable:
+
+1. **No model-selectable escalate.** The seat returns a
+   verdict in {sustain_finding, sustain_refutation}, a
+   calibrated confidence in [0, 1], and a deciding quote.
+   The HARNESS escalates, on exactly six rules, evaluated
+   in the precedence order recorded in ESCALATION_RULES'
+   companion docstring below; every escalation names the
+   rule that fired and a human-readable detail. A bare
+   escalation — one with no rule — is impossible by
+   construction: there is no code path that produces one.
+2. **Deterministic probe path.** When a harness-executed
+   probe result settles the claim (`probe_decision`), the
+   decision follows the probe. The seat's only job on that
+   path is grading whether the probe actually tests the
+   claim (probe adequacy), recorded as its own field; an
+   adequacy failure routes the case to the model path, and
+   an ungradeable adequacy escalates as evidence-ineligible.
+   Entries carry `path` forever — "deterministic_probe" or
+   "model" — and `summarise_paths` reports the two paths
+   separately, never blended.
+3. **Canonicalised inputs.** Packets are canonicalised
+   before the seat sees them: vendor/family/seat names are
+   scrubbed from every presented text, prose whitespace is
+   normalised, and the two positions are placed in a
+   canonical (content-keyed) order with neutral labels.
+   Vendor-strip and family-swap perturbations therefore
+   produce byte-identical seat prompts — that invariance
+   holds BY CONSTRUCTION and is labelled as such on every
+   entry and summary; it is not a measured model property.
+   (The code region is presented verbatim, as in v1:
+   deciding quotes must validate character-for-character
+   against it, and the record always keeps the originals —
+   scrubbing applies only to what the seat sees.)
+4. **A/B swap as the double draw.** Draw 1 presents the
+   positions in canonical order; draw 2 presents them
+   swapped. Majors always take both draws; in evaluation
+   mode every case does. Disagreement is a harness
+   escalation, not a seat outcome.
+5. **As-raised judging frame** (step-2 forensics, Part A):
+   every packet and prompt states that findings are judged
+   AS RAISED — against the code as it was when the finding
+   was made. A probe result showing a fix shipped in
+   response to the finding SUPPORTS the finding under this
+   frame; L06's inversion (remediation read as rebuttal)
+   is structurally excluded: `probe_decision` maps
+   FIX_SHIPPED to sustain_finding deterministically,
+   before any model judgement is consulted.
+6. **Rubric cost language** (§3.3.7): the prompt prices
+   BOTH errors — a wrong dismissal waves a real defect
+   through; an unnecessary escalation consumes the owner's
+   time — and shows the seat the harness's escalation
+   rules, so it knows abstention is handled structurally
+   and its only job is an honest verdict + confidence.
+7. **Staged-authority hooks** (§3.5): every entry is
+   tagged with the authority stage its route falls under
+   (1, 2, 3, or "never" for protected classes and severity
+   blockers). Shadow remains the only live mode:
+   ENABLED_STAGES is empty, every entry is binding=False,
+   and no stage can become live without an acceptance pass
+   plus an owner act. The hooks are built; nothing is
+   flipped.
+
+Evidence eligibility consumes the existing validation
+entry points in core — `_quote_grounded` for grounding
+and, for dismissals, `_dismissal_quote_check` (the
+harness-fixes relevance/distinctness screen) — resolved
+at call time so this module composes with that branch
+whichever order they merge in. The relevance screen is
+NOT reimplemented here; when the checker is unavailable
+(pre-merge), dismissal eligibility falls back to grounding
+only and the draw's quote check says so on the record.
+
+The verdict draw also returns the two-field reasoning
+assessment (claim_valid + refutation_validity, the v1
+vocabulary and normalisation) that the acceptance
+scorecard's machinery_two_field rule scores. It is the
+seat's own grading, recorded from the canonical draw —
+the acceptance adapter maps it onto the scorer's shape
+but never derives or invents it.
+
+One interpretation, stated plainly: under this design a
+model-path dismissal of a major can never stand — any
+probe that could support it either settles the claim (and
+takes the deterministic path) or was graded as not testing
+the claim (and so is not support). That is the §3.3.1 rule
+"the verdict would dismiss a major without probe support"
+read together with §3.3.2, and it is deliberate: dismissal
+of a major is the dangerous direction, and the harness —
+not the seat — owns the demand for executed evidence.
