Direct answer
Metadata Only Evidence — Failure Mode is implemented as a source-bounded failure mode guide.
Answer contract
Apply the failure mode lens only to the exact inspected source scope; do not infer authority from adjacent topics.
Evidence and exact locators
t22-metadata-boundary — lib/evidence-preflight-contract.ts — EvidencePreflightClaimAssessment and evidenceStatus. Supports: Distinguishes metadata-only evidence from located user-supplied excerpts and blocks it before source inspection.
What the evidence does not establish
Metadata identifies a possible source; it is non-explanatory and does not support a claim.
