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.
