+# Source assertion and corpus verification
+
+Status: library gate under qualification. No model is qualified by its unit tests,
+and the existing backfill runner does not call it yet. It has no database writer,
+retriever, scheduler or model fallback.
+
+`verify_relation` first applies every existing backfill structural gate, then
+asks a separate model call to assess the original quote in its source and every
+supplied reference. The caller supplies bounded eligible windows and a durable
+raw-response callback. A recording, transport or parse error stops review;
+there is no synthetic empty result or correction that hides the first response.
+The callback receives the primary and ordered reference windows, including
+their source IDs, origins, timestamps and original text, even for invalid output.
+Transport responses may be text or UTF-8 bytes. The callback retains original
+bytes (freezing bytearrays) before decoding; parsing and hashing use the same text.
+Missing or unrecognized source classes fail before inference. Ordinary CLI,
+subagent and fleet-coordination evidence remains eligible.
+Desktop evidence and all memory-reader classes from the shared ingestion
+constant are excluded from both primary and reference windows before inference.
+
+`depends_on` means a software/runtime requirement: necessary code, a service or
+an artifact. An adopted mandatory policy is a real `governed_by` relationship.
+When the graph lacks its policy target, `GOVERNED_BY_UNBOUND` preserves the policy
+quote without creating an ID or changing the proposed service endpoint. The
+legacy source and relation types remain unchanged.
+Both supporting and policy verdicts must retain the original proposal quote.
+In v1, `mandatory_policy` returns before reference chronology is assessed: a
+contradicted or expired policy can still be UNBOUND. This status confirms neither
+policy validity nor current applicability, and remains unauthorized for writes.
+
+Outcomes distinguish a corroborated source assertion, rejection, unresolved
+evidence, policy awaiting binding, and a relationship that subsequently ended.
+All outcomes explicitly leave current graph truth unverified and authorize no
+canonical write. A dated later correction and a legitimate ending are distinct;
+an earlier denial cannot automatically refute a later assertion. Uncertain or
+missing dates remain unresolved. Observation timestamps are not effective dates.
+
+The caller must resolve underlying evidence origins, including forwarded or
+summarized origins; different session IDs alone do not establish independence.
+Quotes copied from any primary-source span, same-origin records and unknown
+origins cannot corroborate. This conservative copy check can also withhold
+independent accounts that happen to use identical wording.
+Short or common reviewer quotes amplify this loss. During qualification, inspect
+this filter before attributing low independent-support counts to retrieval.
+No search hits is UNKNOWN. The model must review every retrieved record in order,
+but this does not prove retrieval recall or absence of unreturned contradictions.
+Corroboration requires known independent support and no unresolved supplied
+evidence. The model still makes semantic judgments; fabricated interpretations
+of exact quotes are caught by qualification, not by pretending structure proves
+meaning. A model can fail this gate's gold set even when these unit tests pass.
+
+The original frozen extraction FAIL remains immutable. Requalification uses a
+new round with explicit disclosure of exposed sources and a frozen fresh holdout.
+Raw extraction, structural acceptance, semantic verification, candidate recall
+and reference retrieval recall have separate denominators. A verifier cannot
+hide a failed raw-extraction bar. The permanent Sol/Astra bulk and delta worker
+must use the same qualified gate, retain provenance/configuration fingerprints,
+and stop before writes on a failed canary. A canary pass is not that night's
+measured precision. Production integration, policy binding and scheduling remain
+separate work; no canonical run is authorized by this library slice.
