evaluate.rs

//! Staged evaluation of a compiled plan (spec 002, 3.7 and 3.10).
//!
//! `start` validates the snapshot at a supplied evaluation time and computes
//! every exact step it can. `pending` lists semantic requests; `supply`
//! accepts one output or runtime failure per request; `finish` returns the
//! judgment and its evidence record. Nothing here performs I/O, reads a
//! clock or calls a backend: the caller (a runtime, or a test) does.
