/**
* pi-goal-list-loop-audit — v0.1.0
* extensions/goal-loop-auditor.ts
*
* Legacy in-process completion-auditor helper and shared prompt/verdict
* machinery. The production completion path uses
* goal-loop-auditor-process.ts, which runs this contract in a detached pi RPC
* worker. This helper remains exported for compatibility and focused tests.
*
* Two enforced floors: the auditor must call at least one read tool before
* , and regression_shield (goal-loop-shield.ts) requires the
* report to include raw output (read / grep / find / ls / bash) for every
* must-verify item in the verification contract — the orchestrator rejects
* evidence-free approvals.
