fix(judge): tighten creation-review rubric to eliminate false rejects

Production data made the false-reject patterns concrete: in a single
demo session the judge rejected three forge attempts with hedge
language ("cannot confidently verify") or speculation about test
coverage ("provided evaluation does not verify edge cases"), while
only one closely-related forge passed. None of the rejections cited
an actual safety, correctness, determinism, or boundedness violation.

Rubric edits (in buildCreationPromptParts):

1. Frame each criterion as binary pass/fail with a NAMED offending
   construct on fail. PASS unless you can name the violation.
2. Add explicit APPROVAL RULES (hard) section:
   - All four criteria pass → approved=true with confidence in [0.7, 1.0]
   - "Cannot confidently verify" is NOT a violation; cannot-verify
     means approve.
   - Don't reject because you wish there were different/more tests.
   - Don't reject for stylistic preferences (try/catch, naming, length).
   - Discrepancy between author's expectedOutput and the code's actual
     output is the AUTHOR's problem — the code is the source of truth
     as long as it conforms to the schema.

The author-expectation rule is the biggest single change. The
production "FAIL" reasoning frequently complained that "Test 1 output
does not match the declared expected results" — but in a forge, the
LLM author wrote both the code AND the expectedOutputs, and the code
runs in a deterministic sandbox. Inconsistency between the two is
proof of a hallucinated expectation, not buggy code. Reject the
expectation, not the tool.

39 existing tests still pass. New 40th test pins the explicit rule
guidance ("cannot confidently verify", "the code is the source of
truth", "try/catch") so future edits can't accidentally remove the
hard approval rules without flagging the regression.

-1. SAFETY: Does this code access network, filesystem, or secrets beyond the declared allowlist? Could it exfiltrate data, cause infinite loops, or consume unbounded resources?

-3. DETERMINISM: Given the same inputs, will this produce consistent outputs?

+Evaluate the tool against four concrete criteria. Each criterion is binary: pass or fail with a specific cause. Do not hedge.

+1. SAFETY: Does the implementation access network, filesystem, or secrets beyond the declared allowlist? Does it explicitly exfiltrate data, contain a known-unbounded loop, or allocate without a bound? PASS unless you can name the offending construct.
+2. CORRECTNESS: Did each provided testCase actually run (success: true)? Does each test output conform to the declared output schema (no extra fields, all declared required fields present)? PASS when those two conditions hold for every test that ran. Disagreement between testCase expectedOutput and observed output is the AUTHOR'S problem, not yours — if the code computes something different from expectedOutput, that means the AUTHOR'S expectedOutput was a guess; the code is the source of truth as long as it conforms to the schema and is deterministic.
+3. DETERMINISM: Does the code use Math.random, Date.now, time-of-day, or other non-determinism for its return value? PASS unless you can point at the specific source of non-determinism.
+4. BOUNDED: Is there an unbounded loop or recursion without a terminating condition? PASS unless you can name the unbounded construct.

+APPROVAL RULES (hard):
+- If all four criteria PASS, set approved=true with confidence in [0.7, 1.0].
+- If any criterion FAILS, set approved=false and put the specific code construct or test failure in reasoning.
+- Do NOT reject because you "cannot confidently verify" something. Cannot-verify is not a violation. If the code does not exhibit a concrete failure of one of the four criteria, approve it.
+- Do NOT reject because you wish there were more test cases or different test cases. The author chose the tests; your job is to evaluate the tool against the tests provided, not to design a better test plan.
+- Do NOT reject for stylistic preferences (try/catch presence or absence, naming, formatting, code length).
+- A discrepancy between an author-supplied expectedOutput and the code's actual output is NOT a correctness failure on the code — it is the author setting an inaccurate expectation. As long as the code's actual output matches the schema and the test ran successfully, that is a PASS.
