harn-vm 0.10.146

//! Answering a whole question set through one JSON schema call.
//!
//! This backend exists so a script runs without a decision route, not because
//! a chat model is a decision model. It makes exactly one physical request
//! with strict schema validation and no repair, no schema retries, no
//! transport retries, no failover, and no tool use. Those are checkpoint
//! defaults, so they are overridden here at the boundary that owns them
//! rather than documented away.
//!
//! The numbers it returns are the model's own report about its answer. That is
//! why it declares `ConfidenceProvenance::ModelReported`: nothing here
//! measured a distribution.
