Kjell Tore Guttormsen 798f64ad6b fix(tools): do not blame the plan for a verdict okf_adjudicate built
run() parses the plan before building anything and parses its own
verdict after. Only the first failure is the operator's file.

The second is reachable: an empty --adjudicator produces a verdict the
grammar refuses ("adjudication field 'adjudicated_by' must be a
non-empty string"). The plan parsed fine; the fault is in what this
command stamped onto it.

Catching SegmentationError at the top of main() -- the previous commit
-- caught both raise sites and printed "malformed plan" for each. On
this path that is a clean, confident, WRONG diagnosis: it sends the
operator to fix the one artifact that was fine. Worse than the traceback
it replaced, because a traceback at least does not claim to know.

The verdict parse now raises AdjudicationError, which is what "this
command failed" already means in this file and already returns 2. Exit
code unchanged either way, nothing written either way; only the message
changes.

Suite 1073 -> 1074 passed (pytest exit 0, measured without a pipe);
ruff and mypy --strict clean.

"""Record a human's judgement of a proposed segmentation, without inventing one.
The proposer proposes; this records what a person decided about the proposal.
The two are different artifacts on purpose. A proposal a human has not looked
at must never be replayable as an adjudication, because replay is exactly what
the run path does with a plan -- deterministically and forever -- so the
proposal is left BYTE-UNTOUCHED and the verdict is written as a sibling. Either
can be re-read against the other afterwards, which a single mutated file could
never support.
Every entry's verdict carries its adjudicator, the timestamp and the DWELL
TIME, per PM decision B2 (`docs/plan/office-intake.md` § 5). The dwell time is
not bookkeeping: a ratified flag with no per-item time is unfalsifiable --
nothing distinguishes a judgement from a click -- and it is the same number
that makes adjudication throughput measurable at all.
**The model leg is OFF by default, and that is a measurement decision.**
Pre-annotation has been measured LOWERING a good annotator's accuracy, from
98.1 % to 95.8 %, so a leg that cannot be switched off is a leg whose value can
never be measured. When it is switched on it shells out to the `claude` CLI at
a resolved absolute path with an explicit `--model`. Shelling out is legal in
`tools/` and adds NO packaging dependency: an SDK wheel would put a second
package in this project's dependency surface for a path the run path must never
take, and an HTTP call would need network policy the library refuses.
It lives outside `src/`, so it never enters a wheel and no consumer's install
surface changes because it exists. The model-free gate over `src/` is unaffected
by anything here.

left no artifact at all, because the judgement was "none of these segments

leaves no trace cannot be counted, audited or disagreed with.
So the grammar is untouched and this artifact is deliberately NOT replayable
