"""
Per-finding adjudicator: demote literal-regex false positives.

For each deterministic HIGH/CRITICAL finding, ask an LLM whether the file
around the matched line actually contains the threat the rule was designed
to catch, or whether the regex fired on benign content. If the LLM answers
"false_positive" with high confidence, demote the finding to INFO for
downstream policy and verdict computation. The original severity and the
adjudication record are preserved on the finding for the audit trail.

**Safety property (load-bearing):** the adjudicator is demote-only.
It can lower severity, never raise it. On error paths (LLM unavailable,
malformed output, timeout, out-of-range confidence, path-escape) the
finding is left untouched. A wrong ``false_positive`` verdict from the
LLM itself can still demote a real threat — that is why the pass is
off by default, why the confidence threshold is configurable, and why
every demotion is preserved in the finding's metadata for review.

Runs BEFORE the LLM analyzer in the scanner pipeline so that findings
demoted by the adjudicator do not enter the LLM analyzer's static-finding
enrichment context. This naturally breaks the cross-analyzer
confirmation cascade described in issue #138 without touching
``llm_analyzer.py``.

A pattern rule fired somewhere in the file below. Your job is to decide \
whether the file ACTUALLY CONTAINS the threat the rule was designed to \
catch, regardless of whether the scanner pointed at the right line.

Note: the scanner sometimes reports a wrong or unhelpful line number \
(e.g. it points at a markdown separator '---' when the real match is \
elsewhere in the file). Look at the whole context, not just the reported \
snippet.

- id: {rule_id}

- description: {description}

# Scanner-reported match (line {line_number} of {file_path})
```
{snippet}
```

# File content
```
{context}
```

# Question
Looking at the file as a whole, does it contain content that genuinely \
matches the threat the rule was built to catch?

- Answer **real** if the file contains a real instance of the threat, \
even if the scanner reported the wrong line.
- Answer **false_positive** if the rule's regex caught something the rule \
was NOT designed for, and you can confirm by reading the file that no \
genuine instance exists elsewhere (e.g. a "do not notify the user" regex \
intended to catch concealment matched a benign quiet-success UX line, AND \
no actual concealment of agent actions exists in the file).

Be conservative: prefer **real** when uncertain or when the file does \
contain content adjacent to the threat. A confidence of 5 means you are \
very sure no genuine instance of the threat exists in the file.
