//! Preservation checks for LLM-enriched memory bodies (G29 Step 4).
//!
//! When a language model rewrites a memory body, the operator must be
//! protected against silent hallucination: the LLM may invent facts, drop
//! key terms, or drift semantically far from the source. This module
//! provides a lightweight, deterministic similarity metric that runs
//! locally without any model call, so the gate can be enforced before the
//! enriched body touches persistent storage.
//!
//! The default metric is a normalised trigram-Jaccard similarity computed
//! on the union of `set_a` and `set_b`. The score is in `[0.0, 1.0]`,
//! where `1.0` means the two inputs share every trigram and `0.0` means
//! they share none. The threshold default of `0.7` follows the gap G29
//! specification, with `--preserve-threshold <F>` letting operators tune
//! it per workload.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use sqlite_graphrag::preservation::{jaccard_similarity, PreservationVerdict};
//!
//! let score = jaccard_similarity("the quick brown fox", "the quick brown fox!");
//! assert!(score > 0.8);
//!
//! let verdict =
//!     PreservationVerdict::evaluate("the quick brown fox", "the quick brown fox!", 0.7);
//! assert!(matches!(verdict, PreservationVerdict::Preserved { .. }));
//!
//! let verdict = PreservationVerdict::evaluate("orig body", "rewritten body", 0.7);
//! assert!(matches!(verdict, PreservationVerdict::Rejected { .. }));
//! ```
