"""
Two-gate contradiction detection — the trigger for belief revision.

Deciding that a new fact *contradicts* an existing belief is the one genuinely
fuzzy step in FALSIFY. A false positive nukes a valid conclusion; a false negative
lets a stale fact survive. We therefore gate it twice, cheap-deterministic first,
expensive-semantic second, with a hard deterministic override for the live demo.

    Gate 1 — vector prefilter (deterministic).
        Embed the new fact and search the ``Evidence_claim`` collection. Only
        evidence within a cosine-distance threshold (``< 0.35`` by default, i.e.
        clearly on-topic) proceeds. This narrows the LLM to plausibly-conflicting
        claims and keeps cost + nondeterminism bounded.

    Gate 2 — LLM adjudication (semantic).
        For each surviving candidate, ask an LLM acting as a skeptical analyst to
        classify the relation as contradicts / supersedes / supports / unrelated with
        a confidence. Only ``contradicts`` or ``supersedes`` at confidence >= 0.6
        triggers refutation. This separates a genuine contradiction ("the report was
        back-dated") from mere topical overlap ("also mentions the report").

    Demo override (``pinned_target_id`` / ``DEMO_MODE``).
        When set, gates are bypassed and a fixed high-confidence ``contradicts``
        verdict is returned for the pinned evidence id, so the on-stage cascade runs
        on real graph APIs even if the LLM is slow, rate-limited, or the key is
        absent. This is FALSIFY's demo safety net (REQUIREMENTS §1.3).
