2026-07-31 ticket initialization

Input from ticket-005 live evaluation:
- attempt 1: no decisions array,
- attempt 2: judgments instead of decisions,
- attempt 3: invalid confidence type/range,
- all attempts failed closed,
- no relation or coverage change was accepted.

Selected next work:
canonical structured-output conformance and precise provider diagnostics.

Workflow state: PLAN

2026-07-31 offline conformance implementation

- provider schema and runtime validator share
  src/semantic/reranker-response.ts,
- verdict/reason values and compatibility rule share
  src/semantic/reranker.ts,
- published schema drift is checked in semantic-reranker.test.ts,
- invalid response error identifies property + provider/model/response ID,
- no raw response persistence and no coercion,
- focused semantic tests: 5/5 PASS.

Workflow transition: PLAN -> TOOLS
