"""Validate the six HaloProbe claim records from paper-owned source assets.

This is deliberately a small, CPU-only validator.  It does not import an LVLM,
train a model, call a proprietary API, or run an author demo.  The figure
checks parse the vector SVG exports of the two paper figures; the table checks
recompute quantities from the paper's printed values.
