"""Faithfulness verifier: classify answer grounding into v9.8 audit_mode.
Three layered strategies (quote → span → entity), tried in order. The
first that finds evidence classifies the answer. `verifier_method`
records which path fired.
Tests cover the full trichotomy under each path plus regressions:
- TMNT: model wrote bios not in context — must be HYBRID/UNGROUNDED
- Matrix: Wikipedia infobox + paraphrased prose. Spans don't match,
but every multi-word proper noun does — entity path classifies it.
