Oracle Engine Update

This update introduces a major internal consolidation of the Oracle engine, ensuring strict consistency between engine logic, verdicts, insights, and UI rendering across all comparison modes.

---

🔑 Highlights

• Unified contract across all axes
  Damage, Survivability, Speed, and Combat now follow the same typed contract and resolution flow.

• Normalization leaks removed in Benchmark Mode
  Raw deltas are preserved where required, preventing semantic contradictions in verdicts and insights.

• Sustain marked as UNKNOWN is now neutral
  When sustain data cannot be evaluated for either build:

  • No score penalty is applied
  • No verdict downgrade occurs
  • No implicit risk narrative is injected

---

🧠 Insights

• Renderer now consumes pillar.classification directly
• No implicit tier, severity, or impact recalculation in the UI layer
• Explicit N/A is rendered whenever data is unavailable or undefined
• Insight tone and summary are strictly derived from engine output

---

⚖️ Verdict

• Independent rule sets for:

  • Migration Mode (relative comparison)
  • Benchmark Mode (absolute playability check)

• Benchmark Speed gate now relies on classification, not normalized score

• Significant gains or losses can never be classified as NEUTRAL

• Safety locks and verdict states now fully align with engine intent

---

⚙️ Engine

• Introduction of OracleAxisResult as the single source of truth per axis
• Guard clauses added for:
  • Speed (benchmark raw delta enforcement)
  • Survivability (no silent normalization downgrade)
• Removal of all legacy heuristic fallbacks
• Defensive assertions added to surface contract violations early

---

✅ Outcome

• Full consistency between engine, insights, and UI
• Comparisons are now:
  • Predictable
  • Auditable
  • Safer against silent misclassification

This update formalizes Oracle behavior as a strict contract, reducing ambiguity and eliminating hidden logic paths.
