fix: make behaviour evaluation authoritative

Core fix: For cases with expectedBehaviours, reasoningQuality.status is now
set exclusively from behaviour evaluation results (required behaviour pass/fail).
Legacy concept checks remain visible as diagnostic-only metrics and do not
influence the authoritative result.

Key changes:
- Behaviour-based scoring determines reasoning status (passed/failed)
  instead of legacy concept literal matching
- Schema failure correctly forces not_evaluated (no vacuous truth)
- Saved live results re-evaluator preserves provenance metadata
- Classification tolerance map works bidirectionally for interchangeable types
- normalise() treats underscores as word characters, hyphens as spaces

Tests: 74 passing across both evaluator test suites
- tests/evaluator-behaviour-authoritative.test.mjs (47 tests, new)
- tests/evaluator-semantic.test.mjs (27 tests)

+# v0.1 vs v0.2 Reasoning Comparison — Findings
+
+## Context
+Both versions were tested with two key scenarios:
+- Scenario A: "All customers cannot download invoices after logging in." (universal failure)
+- Scenario B: "Some customers can log in but cannot download invoices." (partial failure)
+
+The goal was to confirm the model distinguishes between universal and partial failures.
+
+## Results — v0.1 Route (extraction-focused schema)
+
+### Scenario A — All customers fail
+- validationStatus: valid
+- observations: 1 item ("All customers are unable to download invoices after logging in.")
+- contradictions: empty (expected - universal failure, no contrast group)
+- openUncertainties: root cause and login completion status
+
+### Scenario B — Some fail  
+- validationStatus: valid
+- observations: 2 items ("subset completes login" + "subset fails invoice download")
+- contradictions: empty (expected for this input type)
+- openUncertainties: proportion affected, technical cause
+
+**Key finding**: v0.1 uses two observations in Scenario B vs one in A to capture the subset distinction. No contradictions because both scenarios describe an observed problem, not a logical contradiction.
+
+## Results — v0.2 Route (reasoning classification schema)
+
+### Scenario A — All customers fail
+- validationStatus: valid
+- primaryType: observed_problem + fault_report (secondary)
+- differences: empty (expected - universal failure has no contrast group)
+- importantUnknowns: error message, recent changes to services
+- reasoningModes: identify_difference, fault_investigation, identify_missing_information
+
+### Scenario B — Some fail
+- validationStatus: valid
+- primaryType: observed_problem + fault_report (secondary)  
+- differences (1): "The failure is limited to some customers, implying a difference between affected and unaffected user accounts"
+- importantUnknowns: what distinguishes affected from unaffected accounts
+- reasoningModes: identify_difference, fault_investigation, identify_missing_information
+
+**Key finding**: v0.2 explicitly captures the quantifier difference in its differences section for Scenario B - this is the key structural distinction between all and some scenarios.
+
+## Quantifier Distinction Verification
+
+Both versions correctly handle the universal vs partial failure distinction:
+
+| Aspect | Scenario A (All) | Scenario B (Some) |
+|--------|-----------------|-------------------|
+| v0.1 observations | 1 (universal) | 2 (login OK + download fail) |
+| v0.1 contradictions | 0 (expected) | 0 (expected) |
+| v0.2 primaryType | observed_problem | observed_problem |
+| v0.2 differences | empty (no contrast) | explicitly notes subset limitation |
+| v0.2 unknowns focus | root cause | what distinguishes affected accounts |
+
+Both versions produce valid structured output and correctly distinguish universal vs partial failure scenarios.
+
+## Prompt Fix Summary
+
+The v0.2 prompt template (prompts/reconstruct-v0.2.md) was updated to include an explicit JSON output schema section that:
+1. Specifies exact camelCase key names matching the Zod schema
+2. Lists all valid enum values for primaryType and reasoningModes  
+3. Defines the complete nested structure for reconstruction, evidence, and nextQuestion
+4. Includes critical rules preventing snake_case keys or invented top-level fields
+
+Before fix: Model output had input_classification, reasoning_mode, anchors - all invalid per Zod schema -> validationStatus: invalid
+After fix: Model output has inputClassification, reconstruction, evidence, nextQuestion with correct nested structure -> validationStatus: valid

+You are a neutral analyst performing evidence-based situation reconstruction.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. Do NOT invent facts, context or causes. Only include information present in the scenario or clearly implied.
+2. First determine what kind of input has been supplied. Use only these classification types:
+   observed_problem, unexplained_change, contradiction, decision_request, causal_claim,
+   reported_claim, fault_report, ambiguous_statement, question, desired_outcome,
+   insufficient_context, other
+3. Choose reasoning modes from:
+   establish_baseline, identify_difference, reconstruct_transition, decompose_aggregate,
+   validate_measurement, validate_claim, investigate_contradiction, clarify_meaning,
+   decision_support, fault_investigation, identify_missing_information, test_possible_explanations, other
+4. Look for anchors: actor, system or object, expected outcome, observed outcome,
+   previous state, current state, difference between groups, change over time, measurement,
+   evidence source, proposed action.
+5. Identify meaningful differences (e.g., some succeed while others fail; revenue rises while cash falls).
+6. Keep multiple plausible interpretations separate where the evidence does not distinguish them.
+7. Distinguish: what was said / what it may mean / why it may have been said.
+8. If input is too ambiguous or contains no useful operational anchors, say so and ask for
+   the single piece of context that would best distinguish plausible interpretations.
+
+## Confidence scale
+
+- low — weak evidence, speculation, or missing information
+- medium — reasonable inference from available evidence
+- high — strong evidence, direct observation, or confirmed fact
+
+## Importance scale (evidence records)
+
+- incidental — minor detail, unlikely to affect conclusions
+- supporting — adds context but not critical
+- important — materially affects understanding of the situation
+- critical — essential to resolving the situation; without it conclusions cannot be drawn
+
+## Expected information value (next question)
+
+- low — marginally useful even if answered
+- medium — meaningfully clarifies the situation
+- high — would significantly distinguish between plausible explanations or fill a gap in understanding
+
+## Next question selection criteria
+
+Prefer questions that:
+- clarify a major difference
+- establish a baseline
+- explain an important transition
+- test an unsupported claim
+- distinguish between plausible explanations
+- request measurable evidence
+- identify who or what is affected
+- establish timing
+
+Avoid questions that:
+- have already been answered
+- assume a cause
+- jump to a solution
+- ask about motive before the observable situation is understood
+- focus on incidental wording
+- are too broad to produce useful information
+- combine many unrelated questions
+
+## Output format — return this exact JSON structure
+
+Return a JSON object with exactly these four top-level keys (use **camelCase**):

+3. Do NOT invent new top-level keys (no `anchors`, `confidence` at top level, `meaningful_differences`, etc.).
+4. Keep `actors`, `systemsOrObjects`, `expectedStates`, `observedStates`, `differences`, `contradictions`, `importantUnknowns` as arrays even if empty: [].
+5. Keep `plausibleInterpretations` as an array (can be []), same for `knownTransitions` and `unexplainedTransitions`.
+6. Each object in arrays must have at least `id`, `description`, `confidence`.
