feat(ai): add Contradiction Agent on a new ChunkedMapper primitive (#6369)

## Summary

Adds a new AI specialist that finds **textual contradictions** across
one or more PDFs — conflicting claims, recommendations, points of view,
contested facts — built entirely in Python on top of the new
`DocumentService` + `ChunkedReasoner` stack from #6314. Replaces the
closed #6304, which was started before #6314 landed and therefore
over-engineered (Java orchestrator, two-round handshake, resume
artifact, discriminated-union lift).

Two commits:
1. **`refactor(engine): extract ChunkedMapper[T] from ChunkedReasoner`**
— pure refactor, public API of ChunkedReasoner unchanged. New
`ChunkedMapper[T: BaseModel]` is a generic parallel-chunk primitive
(slicing, semaphore, time-bounded extraction, cancellation drain,
progress events) that's now a peer to ChunkedReasoner rather than locked
inside it. The compression loop stays on ChunkedReasoner where it
belongs.
2. **`feat(ai): add Contradiction Agent on ChunkedMapper`** — the agent
itself, plus integrations into `PdfReviewAgent` and `PdfQuestionAgent`.

## Architecture

- **Python-only.** No Java code. No `AgentToolId.CONTRADICTION_AGENT`.
No dedicated HTTP endpoint. No resume artifact, no discriminated-union
lift in `contracts/common.py`. Detector runs inside the Python engine
and the Python engine alone.
- **Review path** (`PdfReviewAgent`): a new
`ContradictionIntentClassifier` fires on contradiction-flavoured
prompts; agent runs detection synchronously and emits a single
`EditPlanResponse(steps=[ADD_COMMENTS])`. Single-turn flow — no resume.
- **Question path** (`PdfQuestionAgent`): a new
`ContradictionCapability` joins `RagCapability` and
`WholeDocReaderCapability` in the smart-model toolset, exposing
`find_contradictions(query)`. The smart model picks it from the toolset
alongside `search_knowledge` and `read_full_document`.

## Inside `ContradictionDetector.detect()`

1. `DocumentService.read_pages(file_id)` → ordered `list[Page]`.
2. `ChunkedMapper[_ExtractedClaims].map_pages(...)` — char-budgeted
multi-page slicing; each slice runs the claim-extractor LLM in parallel
under a semaphore.
3. Page-traceability: the extractor returns `_ExtractedClaim.page`
(which `[Page N]` marker the claim came from). The wrapper validates
`page ∈ chunk.pages`; if not, mechanical fallback searches the chunk's
page text for the verbatim quote and reassigns. If still no match, drop
the claim.
4. `Claim.anchor_quality: Literal[\"verbatim\", \"paraphrased\"]` is set
by a substring check against the declared page's text. Verbatim quotes
feed `anchor_text` for snap-to-quote add-comments placement; paraphrased
ones fall back to margin geometry.
5. Subject canonicalisation: ONE fast-model LLM call collapses synonyms
across the document. Fails open to lexical bucketing.
6. Pre-filters: drop identical-quote pairs; drop same-page same-polarity
paraphrases.
7. Per-bucket pair detection in parallel (separate semaphore, cap 5).
Buckets > 12 claims chunk into windows of 12 with overlap 2; pairs
deduped across overlapping windows by frozen `(i, j)` index pair.
8. Summary fast-model call with fallback string on error.

## Prompt-injection hardening

Every prompt that interpolates user-supplied or PDF-extracted text wraps
content in `<user_message>` / `<verdict>` / `<content>` tags with an
explicit SECURITY preamble instructing the model to treat tagged content
as data only.

## Limitations

- **Combined math + contradiction intent**: when both intent classifiers
fire on the same prompt, contradiction takes precedence and the math
intent is silently dropped. Documented in the Review module docstring
and pinned by
`test_review_integration.py::test_contradiction_precedence_over_math`.
- **Cross-window contradiction reach**: within a subject bucket, pairs
more than ~10 claim indices apart in the same chunked window may be
missed by the overlap-2 strategy. Documented in `test_detector.py`.
Acceptable for v1.

## Settings (engine/src/stirling/config/settings.py)

```python
contradiction_detect_concurrency = 5     # per-bucket detector semaphore
contradiction_bucket_chunk_size = 12     # max claims per detector call
contradiction_bucket_chunk_overlap = 2   # overlap for >threshold buckets
```

`chars_per_slice` and extraction concurrency are reused from the
existing `chunked_reasoner_*` settings.

## Test plan

- [x] `uv run pytest tests/ -v` — **245/245 pass** (210 pre-existing +
35 new)
- [x] `uv run ruff check src/ tests/` — clean
- [x] `uv run pyright src/stirling/agents/contradiction/
src/stirling/contracts/contradiction.py` — 0 errors
- [x] `./gradlew :proprietary:test` — green; no Java was touched, but
verified untouched
- [x] Page-traceability tests cover: valid page kept, hallucinated page
dropped, mechanical-reassign on misattribution, anchor-quality verbatim
vs paraphrased
- [x] Review integration: ADD_COMMENTS plan with two paired CommentSpecs
per contradiction; NeedIngestResponse precheck; precedence vs math
intent pinned
- [x] Question integration: all three capabilities wired into
smart-model toolset; `find_contradictions` returns formatted report text
- [x] ChunkedMapper standalone: slicing, multi-chunk ordering, worker
failures, timeouts, cancellation drain, semaphore saturation
- [x] ChunkedReasoner regression: all pre-existing tests pass unchanged
after the internal split

## Relationship to closed #6304

#6304 was closed in favour of this PR. The closed PR predated #6314 and
modelled the agent as a Java-orchestrated two-round examine/deliberate
flow with its own HTTP endpoint and a discriminated-union resume
artifact. With #6314 making full ordered page text available to the
engine via `DocumentService.read_pages`, none of that is needed. Net
effect: drop ~600 lines of Java, drop the two-round handshake, drop the
`ToolReportArtifact` lift, while ending up with a more scalable agent
(chunk-based instead of page-based extraction; tested to
ChunkedReasoner-equivalent scale).

You are a claim extractor for textual contradiction detection.
You receive a slice of PDF content wrapped in a <content> tag. The slice
is rendered as one or more {PAGE_MARKER_TEMPLATE.format(n="N")} blocks - each block is the verbatim
text of a single page of the document, preceded by a marker that
declares its page number. The page number in {PAGE_MARKER_TEMPLATE.format(n="N")} is authoritative
and must appear verbatim in the ``page`` field of every claim you emit
from that block.
Your task is to identify every atomic factual claim, recommendation,
or position any of the pages makes that another page could plausibly
contradict.
For each claim, return:
- page: the integer N from the {PAGE_MARKER_TEMPLATE.format(n="N")} marker the claim came from.
- subject: a short noun phrase naming what the claim is about
(e.g. "project deadline", "budget", "vendor selection").
- polarity: one of:
* "assert" - declares something is true
("the deadline is March 5")
* "deny" - declares something is false
("the deadline is not March 5")
* "recommend" - argues for a course of action
("we should approve the proposal")
* "reject" - argues against a course of action
("we should not approve the proposal")
* "neutral" - descriptive without a clear stance
- text: a one-sentence paraphrase of the claim in the document's
language.
- quote: the verbatim excerpt from the page (<= 400 characters; trim
faithfully - do not insert ellipses or abbreviate).
Rules:
- Only emit claims that could be contradicted elsewhere - opinions,
facts, recommendations, deadlines, attributes of named entities.
- SKIP examples, hypotheticals, questions, and rhetorical devices.
- SKIP boilerplate, headers, page numbers, and decorative text.
- If the slice has no claim-bearing prose, return an empty list.
- Do not invent claims that are not in the text.

the quote came from. Do not guess.

"the deadline for the project"). Your task is to group them and
return a list of ``aliases``, one entry per input phrase, where each
entry pairs the original phrase (``raw``) with the canonical form for
its group (``canonical``).
Rules:
- Every input phrase MUST appear exactly once as a ``raw`` value.
- ``canonical`` MUST be a non-empty string - never blank.
- Pick the shortest clear phrasing as the canonical form for each group.
- Preserve case as in the chosen canonical phrase.
- Phrases referring to genuinely different subjects MUST map to
themselves (each forms its own singleton group with

came from). All claims share a single canonical subject (also supplied
in the prompt). Your task is to return every pair of indices (i, j)

time, given a plain reading of the document.
For each contradicting pair, return:

- explanation: a one-sentence reason in English explaining why the
claims conflict; quote only what the input gave you.
- severity: one of:
* "error" - definite logical contradiction; both cannot be true.
* "warning" - plausible tension; possible paraphrase, hedging, or
context-dependent reading.
Rules:
- NEVER emit a pair with i == j.
- NEVER emit (i, j) with i > j; sort indices so i < j.
- Emit each pair at most once.
