Ground and atomically apply Evidence preparation

Every proposed Evidence Unit carries one to five short supporting excerpts that can be found in its normalized Source Evidence. The model may reuse only identifiers supplied for previous units; deterministic application code assigns all new canonical IDs. This makes provenance and identity mechanically checkable without pretending that automated validation can replace human semantic review.

Preparation validates the complete changed batch in a temporary area and applies curated files plus the manifest atomically. A model timeout or invalid response is not retried automatically and leaves the worktree unchanged. Explicit evidence resolve actions retire or relink units while preserving an ordinary, recoverable Git diff.
