Keep literal source context separate from atomic requirements

Keep literal source context separate from atomic requirements. When one sentence contains several promises, each normalized requirement may paraphrase the action and object while citing the same complete, unchanged source span. Validate literal provenance separately from semantic fidelity; removing intervening words to manufacture a shorter quotation can reject an otherwise understandable promise. Independent review must still preserve qualifiers and detect added or omitted requirements. Literal quotation proves where wording came from, not whether an interpretation or completion verdict is correct.
