"""Mechanical primitives for Vera financial-analysis preparation contracts.

The functions in this module are deterministic because their correctness is
mechanically verifiable and auditability requires byte-for-byte reproduction.
They validate syntax, exact Decimal handling, local file receipts, references,
and status consistency. They deliberately do not select sources, interpret
business meaning, approve reviewed decisions, choose tolerances, define
financial formulas, or decide whether an analysis is economically valid.
