    "verification": "floor-plan-layout states its zoning in a few lines, writes an SVG plan with overall dimensions, room sizes and areas, door swings, windows, a scale bar and a north arrow, and shows a room table from a checker that reported no overlaps, every door on a shared wall and every room reachable.",
