//! Content-based contradiction detection (lexical, deterministic, local-first).
//!
//! The rest of the contradiction machinery — the decoder, the community scan,
//! the factor graph — *consumes* contradiction pairs that were asserted as
//! graph edges. Nothing infers a contradiction from the text of two facts.
//! This module is that missing piece: given a set of co-retrieved items, it
//! proposes candidate contradiction pairs from their content alone.
//!
//! v1 is purely lexical and deterministic (no embeddings, no LLM, no I/O) so it
//! runs in CI and on a cold machine. A pair is proposed only when the two items
//! are *about the same thing* (a topical-overlap gate) **and** carry a concrete
//! disagreement signal:
//!
//! - **NumericDisagreement** — near-identical wording but different numbers
//!   ("exposes 33 tools" vs "exposes 12 tools").
//! - **ValueDisagreement** — same subject, different entity-like value
//!   ("the default embedder is Candle" vs "… is Ollama").
//! - **NegationPolarity** — near-identical wording, one negated
//!   ("X is supported" vs "X is not supported").
//! - **Antonym** — near-identical wording differing by a known antonym pair
//!   ("the feature is enabled" vs "… disabled").
//!
//! The detector's output is exactly what [`crate::eval_contradiction`] scores,
//! and what an ingestion pass could turn into `contradicts` graph edges.
//! Embedding-similarity gating (replacing the lexical topical gate) and an NLI
//! signal are the natural v2 upgrades.
//!
//! Behind `#[cfg(feature = "decoder")]` (the contradiction cluster).
