/**
* outputEnforcement — what the `outputSchema` contract does INSIDE the run.
*
* Pattern: an authored envelope around an untrusted payload (the same shape
* `window/summarize` uses), plus one writer for one committed key
* (the same rule `middleware/ledger` follows).
* Role: core/ layer. Until 7.26 the schema was checked once, after the run
* was over, by `runTyped()`. That is a fine place to JUDGE an answer
* and a useless place to FIX one: the loop has stopped, the model is
* gone, and all the caller can do is throw. This module holds the
* pieces that let the loop ask again — the corrective message, the
* ledger row, and the synthetic tool the `'tool-forced'` strategy
* puts on the wire.
* Emits: N/A — the Route decider and the retry stage emit; this file only
* builds values and commits rows.
*
* ## Why the failed answer is put into the conversation
*
* Nothing writes the answering turn back into `scope.history` — the loop
* appends an assistant turn only when it carries tool calls. So a corrective
* message sent on its own would arrive at a model that cannot see what it
* said, and "your answer failed the schema" would be teaching into the void.
* The retry stage appends BOTH: the answer that failed, then the correction.
* That is also what makes the retry legible afterwards — the conversation
* says what was answered, what was wrong with it, and what came back.
*
* ## Why the frame comes first and nothing follows the error
*
* The validator's message is DATA. A schema authored elsewhere (or a parser
* that formats an error out of model output) can put anything in it,
* including text shaped like an instruction. So the library's own words come
* FIRST, say what the following text is, and nothing authored is appended
* after it — there is no trailing sentence for injected text to pre-empt.
* Identical reasoning, identical shape, to the compaction frame.
