QE-Court: Adversarial Review as a Verdict

Purpose

One reviewer — even a strong one — is one Einstein squinting at the chalkboard. QE-Court convenes independent adversaries from different vendors, with different roles and different probe sets, makes them attack the delivery, and then forces any SHIP verdict to survive an escalating deeper review before it stands. You stay in the loop as the final judge. Implements ADR-124; composes ADR-117..122.

The one rule that makes it a court and not a rubber stamp: a passing grade is the claim under attack, not the finish line. A shallow 91/100 SHIP that a deeper reviewer can overturn is a bug in the review, not a delivery that shipped.
