The cite-check gate — every authority gets opened — step 5 of 7

This verifier commits the Mata error in code: it "verifies" each authority by reading the model's own confidence field instead of opening the citator. Pargeter — the model's most confident cite — does not exist.

Fix verify so it looks each case up in CITATOR: not found means STRIKE, negative treatment means STRIKE, otherwise KEEP. The confidence field should play no role at all.

Expected output:

Renner v. Caldwell Insurance Group: KEEP
Pargeter v. Ohio Turnpike Commission: STRIKE
Bhatt v. Solano Water District: STRIKE
