A draft ships only when the set judge and the crop comparison both accept it. First bead: a back-view candidate passes re-judge by absence, but locate cannot see the print, so it cannot be verified. Second bead: a real fix, confirmed crop against crop.
Absence · the first verifier
Re-judge: the same two-pass judge with the same rubric
Finding no longer appears → implied fix: absence is not proof
Presence · crop-verify, 4 steps
Locate: box the feature on the clearest reference and on the candidate; is it visible?
Crop: 6% padding; boxes under 24 px are a failed detection
Compare: only the two crops, letter by letter for text
Verdict in code: derived from field answers, never free text: confirmed, still failing, or cannot verify
