decision_engine.py
==================
High-level moderation decision engine.
Takes a summarised claim_result dict (produced after stance classification and
source retrieval) and returns a final moderation decision with recalibrated
confidence and a human-readable reason.
This layer sits *above* reasoning.py:
DataCollector β StanceClassifier β reasoning.py β decision_engine.py β UI
Why a separate layer?
reasoning.py works on raw ScoredSource objects (per-source contributions).
This module works on already-aggregated claim summaries, which is the shape
that the UI, API, and tests produce. The two layers complement each other β
reasoning.py computes the evidence score; this module applies the final
decision policy (thresholds, pattern boosts, confidence blending).
