The verdict-cache read contract: results/state/<tick_id>.json — a per-host, gitignored snapshot of each tick’s per-ground verdicts that a consumer hook reads WITHOUT shelling ev check. Facts, no scores; one row per ground.

Functions

write_state

Write results/state/<tick_id>.json: one row per (ground, verdict) pair, the staleness reference, and the time of computation. Pairing at the boundary keeps grounds and verdicts from drifting out of alignment.
