Four Explicit Truth States — DEJAN Codebase Explorer

The Fact & Gap Checker maps research findings to claims using four truth states: confirms (validates parametric recall against web evidence), contradicts (identifies hallucinations or outdated training data), new (uncovers live web facts absent from memory), and regrounds (attaches fresh source evidence to existing gap claims).
