feat(frame-verdict): closed-world FrameVerdict substrate — PR-1..4 + hardening (ADR-0222 B4) (#787)
* wip(b4): lift _basis to generate/epistemic_basis.py (behavior-preserving)

B4 PR-1 foundation checkpoint — the shared epistemic-basis helper extracted
byte-identically from determine.py so the closed-world frame_verdict evaluator
(coming) can compute standing without importing determine (ADR-0222 §8 A3).
determine.py imports it aliased; its 3 Determined sites + INV-30 unchanged.
PAUSED: rest of B4 (FrameVerdict type, evaluator, INV-31, PR-2/3/4) resumes
after the suite-speed arc.

* feat(frame-verdict): closed-world envelope + isolated evaluator + INV-31 (B4 PR-1)

The sealed, off-serving FrameVerdict type + the isolated text-frame evaluator + the
INV-31 firewall (ADR-0222). Composes proof_chain.entail (no second prover); a
closed-world False comes ONLY from an ROBDD refutation; absence is never false.

- generate/frame_verdict/{types,evaluate,__init__}: FrameVerdict / ClosedFrame /
  ClosedWorldProof + PositiveRefutationKind enum. evaluate_frame_verdict(frame, query)
  maps entail ENTAILED/REFUTED/UNKNOWN/REFUSED -> entailed_true/false/undetermined/
  contradiction/scope_boundary; OPEN / undeclared-closure / non-TEXT -> scope_boundary.
  __post_init__ admissibility: entailed_false needs a NAMED positive refutation; a
  generic FALSIFIED raises. trace_hash is order-invariant + replay-stable.
- INV-31 (test_architectural_invariants.py): A1 determine.py clean+visible; A2 exact
  construction allowlist (evals-inclusive, tests-excluded) + non-vacuity anchor; A3
  transitive spine -/-> frame_verdict (reuses INV-27 walker) + resolve anchor; B1
  determine() refuses a ClosedFrame. B2 deferred to the governance slice (no
  non-vacuous surface yet; ADR §8 permits).

No serving wire. determine.py unchanged except the _basis import. No Determined(answer=False).
INV-30 green. Shapes follow the B4 operator master brief (PositiveRefutationKind enum,
closure_declared/source/provenance) — a consistent refinement of ADR-0222 §3.

Verified: 97 (full INV incl. INV-31 + FrameVerdict + OWA floor) + 20 frame_verdict + 35 determine.

* feat(frame-verdict): text closed-world (CWA) evaluation lane (B4 PR-2)

A measure-only lane over the text FrameVerdict evaluator (ADR-0222). Proves the sealed
type evaluates propositional closed frames safely — incl. a sound entailed_false —
without touching determine() or runtime serving.

- evals/frame_verdict_text_cwa/: cases.jsonl (12 cases across all 5 verdict kinds +
  gating + absence safety), oracle.py (an INDEPENDENT truth-table propositional checker —
  own recursive-descent parser + brute-force enumeration, disjoint from the ROBDD; imports
  no engine module), score.py, README.
- tests/test_frame_verdict_text_cwa_lane.py: wrong=0; the disjoint oracle confirms every
  gold (non-vacuity) AND the engine matches the oracle on every case; entailed_false is
  proof-backed (ROBDD_REFUTATION); absence / OPEN / undeclared-closure are never
  entailed_false; SHA-pinned fixtures.

Input contract: propositional-formula strings (no prose lowering). Capability-index
deliberately NOT touched (off-serving lane; documented). No Determined, no answer=False,
no serving wire. INV-30 / INV-31 / ProofWriter-OWA stay green.

* feat(frame-verdict): perception changed-slot falsification adapter (B4 PR-3)

Lift an ADR-0211 FalsificationRun into a FrameVerdict SAFELY (ADR-0222 §5.2). Critical
doctrine: "FALSIFIED" is not enough — only a POSITIVELY observed changed-slot contradiction
produces entailed_false (PERCEPTION_CHANGED_SLOT). Missing observation (absence), unexpected
extra (over-observation), and a whole-missing actual frame NEVER become false — they refuse
(undetermined / scope_boundary). SUPPORTED -> entailed_true (frame-conformance proven).

- generate/frame_verdict/perception_adapter.py: frame_verdict_from_perception_falsification;
  the proof carries the FULL run trace_hash (binds expected+actual+verdict, ADR §5.4).
- generate/frame_verdict/_construct.py: extracted the single FrameVerdict builder; the text
  evaluator + perception adapter both funnel through it, so the literal FrameVerdict(...)
  lives in ONE file -> INV-31 ALLOWED_FRAME_VERDICT_SITES = {_construct.py}.
- tests: changed-slot -> entailed_false (+ empty-hash raises); missing/unexpected/whole-missing
  never false; supported -> entailed_true; non-perception -> scope_boundary.

Off-serving; perception_adapter is in generate.frame_verdict, so INV-31 A3 already proves it
unreachable from the open-world spine. No determine() change, no answer=False. INV-30 / INV-31
/ ProofWriter-OWA / text-CWA lane stay green.

* feat(response-governance): default-dark FrameVerdict surface mapping (B4 PR-4)

The only lawful surface path for a closed-world verdict (ADR-0222 §7/§14). Lowers a
FrameVerdict to a served disposition through the EXISTING epistemic_disclosure tables (no
parallel object): entailed_true/false -> COMMIT at INFERRED + DisclosureClaim.NONE (a
committed "Yes"/"No"; entailed_false is an answer, NOT a contradiction/refusal/LimitationKind);
contradiction -> REPORT; undetermined -> REFUSE; scope_boundary -> EXPLAIN.

DEFAULT-DARK: a NEW module that changes no existing file — the open-world govern_response /
shape_surface STRICT path is byte-identical, and nothing in the live runtime calls it. The
TYPE is the closed-world tag: a forged dict / untagged object cannot widen serving (raises).

INV-31: A3 still green — core/response_governance/frame_verdict.py is NOT imported by the
package __init__ or the open-world spine, so frame_verdict stays unreachable from
chat/runtime/session/vault. The B2 anchor is now live (the forged-object rejection); all six
INV-31 anchors firm. The open-world render_determination cannot render a FrameVerdict;
determine() still has no answer=False.

Verified: 84 (governance + full INV incl. INV-31 A3/B2) green.

* harden(frame-verdict): fold in adversarial-review findings (B4)

A 4-skeptic adversarial read of PR-1..4 against real source surfaced one
soundness gap (major) and four defensive gaps (minor). All folded in; the
4 B4 files + full INV suite stay green (128 passed).

S1 (major) — perception negation was not frame-gated. The text evaluator
refuses OPEN / undeclared-closure frames (-> SCOPE_BOUNDARY) but the
perception adapter only gated frame_kind + the missing-frame sentinel, so a
PERCEPTION + OPEN + changed-slot residual produced entailed_false with
world_assumption=OPEN — a verdict that self-contradicts the type invariant
(OPEN => negation illegal). Fixed two ways:
  * perception_adapter: gate OPEN / not-closure_declared -> SCOPE_BOUNDARY,
    mirroring the text evaluator (graceful upstream refusal);
  * types.__post_init__ §(0): STRUCTURAL backstop — ENTAILED_FALSE + OPEN
    raises, frame-general, so NO producer (text/perception/future) can emit
    an OPEN-world negation even if it forgets the gate.

S4-a — entailed_true was admissibility-asymmetric. Only entailed_false was
proof-gated at construction; a committed "Yes." leaned entirely on the
INV-31-A2 allowlist. Added a symmetric §(2) guard: entailed_true requires a
positive entailment/support proof (proof_chain.entail/ENTAILED or
sensorium.falsification/SUPPORTED), non-empty sha, and NO refutation kind —
a mutation test can now trip a forged positive.

S2 — A2 construction detector extended to flag FrameVerdict.<factory>(...)
classmethod constructions and module-qualified mod.FrameVerdict(...), so a
future alternate constructor cannot evade ALLOWED_FRAME_VERDICT_SITES. The
dataclasses.replace gap is RECORDED (a blanket replace() match would
false-positive tree-wide) for the serving-wiring PR, not faked.

S4-b/c — A3 firewall now bars core.response_governance.frame_verdict
DIRECTLY (not only via its re-import of generate.frame_verdict), plus a new
test proving the response_governance package __init__ stays default-dark
(does not re-export the adapter).

S3 — oracle grammar is a strict SUBSET of proof_chain.entail (it mis-parses
`false` as a free atom). Corrected the docstring and added a lane guard:
every DECIDED cases.jsonl formula must stay inside the subset, so a future
out-of-subset case fails loudly at SHA-add review instead of as a confusing
engine-vs-oracle red. SCOPE_BOUNDARY-gold garbage is exempt (both refuse).

S1-minor (construction-time-only admissibility) documented in __post_init__:
a future codec/deserialization path must re-construct via build_frame_verdict.

* docs(analysis): B4 FrameVerdict implementation lookback (PR-1..4 + hardening)

Mandatory multi-slice lookback (CLAUDE.md triggers 2+3). Audits all six B4
commits across the lookback template: documentation drift, test-coverage /
parity gaps, wrong=0 hazard surface, cross-slice consistency, honest LOC.

Categorized findings: solid (INV-30 untouched; entailed_false positive-only;
INV-31 firewall non-vacuous; default-dark; replay determinism) / hazards (the
5 adversarial-review findings, ALL fixed in the hardening commit) / recorded
gaps (dataclasses.replace A2 hole + construction-time-only admissibility,
both deferred with an explicit guard obligation on the serving-wiring PR) /
drift (type shapes are a consistent refinement of ADR-0222 §3; one non-gating
ADR note filed). Global red-line ledger: all green.

"""Epistemic basis of a grounded conclusion — the shared standing rule.
