Two paired enhancements (D + E from the toy-Hermes design pass):
D. Per-claim status taxonomy on `verify_quotes`.
New `claim_statuses` field on every verdict — a per-evidence-unit
list with three labels:
VERIFIED_QUOTE unit substring-matched in normalized context
(any of quote/span/entity strategies)
SUPPORTED_PARAPHRASE unit cleared the paraphrase token-coverage
threshold (≥85% topical tokens present)
UNSUPPORTED unit didn't match anything
Diagnostic labels (QUOTE_INTEGRITY_FAILED, SOURCE_MISMATCH,
FALSIFIED) stay in the sidecar / falsification machinery — the
binary-verifier discipline holds. Empty list when no evidence
was extracted at all (verifier_method='none'). Backward-compatible:
existing fields (audit_mode, n_quotes, n_verified, unverified_quotes,
verifier_method) unchanged; current callers ignore the new field.
E. Repair-action plans on sidecar diagnoses.
Each `_classify_span` diagnosis now carries a `repair` field with
a concrete suggestion the operator can act on:
synthetic_elision_inside_quote → split_into_two_quotes
(when both halves verbatim)
→ trim_to_verified_half
(when only one half verbatim)
→ remove_claim
interior_elision → include_aside_for_verbatim
(with the dropped aside text)
trailing_artifact → trim_trailing_artifact
(with the kept_prefix string)
paraphrase → downgrade_to_paraphrase
partial_paraphrase → split_or_remove
no_overlap → remove_claim
Read-only suggestions — sidecar still doesn't write to providence_cache
or audit_events. The repair stage is recommendation, not mutation.
Operator (or an automated repair pass) decides whether to act.
Human render in `aborist inspect` shows `repair: <action> (<reason>)`
under each diagnosis line.
Tests:
- verify: claim_statuses_quote_path_labels_each_unit (per-quote VERIFIED
/ UNSUPPORTED), claim_statuses_paraphrase_method_flagged,
claim_statuses_empty_when_no_evidence.
- inspect: repair_synthetic_elision_split_when_both_halves_verbatim,
repair_interior_elision_includes_aside, repair_trailing_artifact_trim,
repair_no_overlap_remove.
462 tests pass (verify +3, inspect +4).
