Quoted support is a label trace

The toy trace separates quote presence, source-span pinning, and meaning-alignment review.

Example alignment packet

The trace has 3 row(s), with 1 row left unknown.

unknown=1\text{unknown}=1

Alignment is not inferred

The compiler recomputes 2 satisfied structural row(s) and abstains on meaning alignment.

satisfied=2\text{satisfied}=2

Diagram note

The trace does not decide whether a quotation legally supports an answer.

Summary

Quote checks should expose text and span alignment without turning alignment into legal analysis.
