//! Algorithm 3: Precision Assessment
//!
//! Evaluates whether a fitted BLR+ARD model meets the user's precision goal,
//! using **percentile-based** semantics (per CLARIFY-1, option C):
//!
//!   **Goal met** when: 95th-percentile posterior std ≤ target_std
//!
//! Rationale: 95th percentile is interpretable ("95% of measurements meet
//! spec") while allowing a small tail of higher-uncertainty points (e.g., at
//! input-space boundaries before dense sampling).
//!
//! Status thresholds:
//!   - `MetGoal`:  percentile_95_std ≤ target_std
//!   - `Near`:     percentile_95_std ≤ 1.1 × target_std (within 10% of goal)
//!   - `Unmet`:    percentile_95_std > 1.1 × target_std
//!   - `NoiseFloorHit`: set externally by Algorithm 4 integration

/// Multi-level precision status.
