spec(hunter-learning-loop): a pattern engine's miss is never evidence
A Semgrep, quick-rule or engine match may enter the feature table as positive evidence; its absence is never a feature, filter, demotion or gate on a hunter suspicion, and no acceptance rule counts it. The Semgrep arm is a comparison only and may at most replace the regex quick tier. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

### Rule: a pattern engine's miss is never evidence
|
||||
Maintainer, 2026-10-13: "what does not work is that we dismiss things just because semgrep cannot find the bug.
|
||||
if semgrep was enough we'd use it." A Semgrep (or quick-rule, or engine) match is positive evidence and may enter
|
||||
the table as a feature ("matched here, rule X"). The absence of a match is not recorded as a feature, is never a
|
||||
filter, a demotion, a down-weight or a gate on a hunter suspicion, and no acceptance rule may count it. The
|
||||
Semgrep arm on the pilot is a comparison arm only.
