Deliverable 6 — eCFR verification of CE adopt/expand matches

Every adopt/expand verdict rests on a text-similarity match to an existing CE, confirmed here against the current eCFR text where the citation resolves. coverage_verdict (covers / partially_covers / does_not_cover / unclear) is filled per (cell, rank) by opus-agent-manual-2026-07-22.

Citation-quality cap: only the 5 eCFR-current URLs that resolved to text can earn a clean covers. agency-doc CEs (DOI/DoD/NIST/FirstNet procedure PDFs, not in the eCFR) and legacy cgi-bin eCFR URLs (NRC 10 CFR 51.22, TVA 18 CFR 1318) are text-unverifiable and capped at partially_covers/unclear/does_not_cover; FTA 23 CFR 771.118 failed to fetch -> unclear.
