+Task 12.6 of the access-control-prover specification (Reqs 5.2, 12.4, 12.5,
+12.7, 12.8, 12.9). The scorer consumes a validated admission manifest plus the
+judgments measured on its population: it scores paired vulnerable/fixed twins
+and reviewed ordinary changes, keeps sample counts and Wilson 95% intervals on
+every rate, and returns NO-GO when the budget gate, the instrument gate or any
+pre-registered quality criterion fails. Indeterminate pairs are reported as
+indeterminate and never converted to clean results; ordinary changes whose
+review found a real missing-authorization defect are refused before scoring.
