deslop-verify

Purpose

Deterministically answer "did this edit break anything?" for a text rewrite. Given the original and the edited version, verify_edit.py asserts hard invariants (fenced/inline code byte-exact, quotations, numbers in both directions, URLs, link targets, identifiers) and measures over-correction (token edit ratio, length band, sentence-rhythm collapse, edit localization against a slop-lint report). It fixes the observed failure of AI-cleanup passes silently paraphrasing figures, softening quotes, flipping negations, and sanding human prose flat — failures no prompt-only humanizer pack checks.
