"""
Adversarial tests for L6 (cognitive drift detection).
Governing question: can a sloppy or deliberately misleading guest's narrative
diverge from what the host actually observed, and does the monitor catch each
distinct way that can happen -- while also being honest that a guest which
simply echoes what it already witnessed will always look clean?
