//! Sparse solve witness — per-entry residual audit for SubLinear
//! orchestrator outputs.
//!
//! ADR-001 open question #3:
//!
//! > Does `solve_on_change` need a witness? Probably yes — a caller
//! > wants to verify the delta-solve's output equals the full-solve's
//! > output up to ε. Cheap to compute; one extra A·x.
//!
//! This module closes that gap, but with an important refinement: a
//! full `A · x` matvec costs `O(nnz(A))`, which would dominate the
//! SubLinear orchestrator's own cost and defeat the architectural
//! win. Instead, we verify **only the entries the orchestrator
//! returned** — the closure rows.
//!
//! Restricted residual: for each `(i, x_i)` entry, compute
//! `r_i = b[i] - Σ_j A[i,j] · x[j]` using a sparse `x` map. The audit
//! succeeds iff `max_i |r_i| ≤ tolerance · max(1, ‖b‖_∞)`. Cost is
//! `O(|entries| · avg_row_nnz)` — same complexity class as the
//! orchestrator. Independent of `n` for sparse DD matrices.
//!
//! ## When to use
//!
//! - **Audit mode** during development: run the SubLinear orchestrator,
//!   then witness the output. A failed witness is a real bug in the
//!   solver, not just a tolerance miss — by construction the
//!   sparse-Neumann path can only over-iterate, never produce a wrong
//!   answer on a strict-DD matrix.
//! - **Trust-but-verify** in production: gate downstream agent actions
//!   on witness success. The cost is the same complexity class as the
//!   solve, so the verification is essentially free relative to the
//!   solve cost.
//! - **Regression guards**: a property test that fuzzes deltas and
//!   asserts witness success on every output is a strong correctness
//!   signal for the SubLinear stack.
