Capstone package

Read Module 10 for the complete brief, deliverables, grading rubric and defense questions. The separate explanation explains the reference and limits.

starter.py is an intentionally incomplete learner exercise. Implement build_evidence before checking it. reference.py executes a complete local reference using the supplied synthetic controller. check_submission.py is a formative structure/invariant check, not a platform grader.

The required added case must produce a supported comparison with a valid integer year and then receive a valid synthetic rejection. Its report supplies observed year, catalogue year, finding and REJECTED phase. Additional invalid-input or expiry cases are welcome but do not replace that required artifact.

From the course folder:

PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 python3 capstone/check_submission.py --module reference
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 python3 capstone/reference.py

To check your implemented exercise, use --module starter. The untouched scaffold intentionally raises NotImplementedError when its evidence function is called. No real messages, accounts, sources, changes, model calls or production actions are part of this capstone.
