grounded synthesis

POST /answer

Consolidates highlights into one grounded answer with Ipnops' own tiered reasoner. The response is the agent-native shape: marker-per-claim citations, a claims array with per-claim verdicts and evidence quotes, one calibrated confidence scalar, and a sufficiency verdict that says whether the evidence actually covered the question.

grounding is one of own-index, web, places, or none — the reach ladder falls through in that order and never fabricates when it misses. sufficiency is supported, conflicting (sources disagree — see conflicts), or insufficient (treat the answer as an abstain).
