//! The direct decision prompt contract and the single-token answer-slot check.
//!
//! This mirrors fastjev's `direct-options-v1` contract: one system instruction,
//! one JSON payload of evidence / criterion / lettered options, rendered
//! through the model's own chat template with thinking disabled, then scored
//! by reading the next-token logits of the fixed uppercase answer letters.
//!
//! Rendering can come from two places. By default the serving runtime renders
//! it (`/apply-template` on llama.cpp), which guarantees the prompt is exactly
//! what that runtime feeds the model. When the runtime exposes no such endpoint
//! — vLLM, for instance — [`crate::render::LocalRenderer`] renders the same
//! template in-process instead.
