/**
 * reasons — the closed table of why an answer does not stand.
 *
 * Pattern: one frozen table, the ONE owner of each reason's layer, class and
 *          the committed row it is read from. `assess.ts` fires reasons in
 *          this table's order; a reader renders them from it.
 * Role:    core/ layer leaf, pure data.
 *
 * THE CLASS. `ask` is a reason the person can settle by answering a question
 * the run already put to them — the turn ENDED in a pause waiting on a
 * person's reply (a typed input, a question, a consent gate). Every other
 * reason is `not-sure`: the library cannot ask at the answer (the call that
 * could have used an answer has already run, and the library never replaces
 * the model's reply with a question), so an absence renders "not sure — what
 * was searched", never "ask".
 *
 * THE SOURCE. What each reason rests on is declared here too, once: `calls`
 * when its rows are about specific tool calls (a result, a coverage row, an
 * argument or period row, a conflict between readings); `answer` when its row
 * is a verdict on the answer itself (a value no result carried, a claim in it,
 * the app's checks on its bytes); `run` when it is about how the run went (a
 * pause still waiting, a limit, unfinished steps, a check that could not reach
 * a verdict). The fold never decides it per run, so "the run" is never an
 * empty list of calls in disguise.
 *
 * WHAT IS NOT HERE, AND WHY. A reason is read from a COMMITTED row, never from
 * an event, so the running agent and a later reader fold the same bytes. Two
 * verdicts the honesty design names are events only in this version and so
 * cannot be read yet: the `.claims()` dispositions (`claim-contradicted`, and
 * the `checked-pass` rows that would SUPPORT "known"), and the integrity
 * dispositions (`integrity.disposition`). The step that needs each one adds
 * one committed row, and the reason joins this table in the same change — as
 * the answer layer (honesty layer 4) did for two: the evidence gate's clean
 * pass (a `grounded` witness row, read as the names-and-numbers check having
 * run — never as a reason, never as support) and an answer given before its
 * declared steps finished (`steps-unfinished`, below). Both rows are filed only
 * while the answer layer is armed (`assessment/witness.ts`).
