§00  Trust verdict · v1 advisory ·  method
UNVERIFIEDno verdict on file

Verdict not yet evaluated for this tool. The hybrid eval runs adversarial cases first; coverage rolls out as the corpus expands. Until a verdict is recorded, an agent should treat this tool as not-yet-cleared and fall back to its own checks. Method: hybrid eval, four-state verdict, honest limits.
