Low confidence: original signals disagreed

Summary

Backfilled v2.0.0: action supports the rule_of_law principle (aggregated from 3 legacy actor_evaluation_scores rows).

Reasoning

Low confidence: this score aggregates 3 legacy contribution(s) whose signals did not all agree. Observed direction breakdown: toward=2, mixed=1, away=0, neutral=0. Observed alignment range: 6.00-8.00 (mean 7.00). Under Policy C methodology (user decision 7e69d4d3), the scoring pipeline applied direction-authoritative reconciliation to this contributor set and resolved the final score to 1. The result is a methodology function over the whole contributor set, not an effect of any subset.
