 - A measured accuracy number (100% on the committed set) instead of a vibe.
 - A human-in-the-loop review step that is the trust story and the production-readiness story at once.
 - A sealed AI→human approval receipt: the render seals the exact proposed→confirmed scene diff with a recomputable `decision_digest` that self-voids if the confirmed scene drifts, and the whole case re-verifies from stored bytes through a named-check receipt (`GET /cases/{id}/verify`) plus a detached, self-sealed receipt written as its own B2 object.
