Add evidence gate for unused artifact analysis (#39279)
* Unify review-pr assessments across review modes
- introduce a mode-independent canonical assessment
- align public evidence for local and formal reviews
- preserve code-correctness findings across CI and mergeability focuses
* Add evidence gate for unused artifact analysis
Require semantic usage, history, and same-boundary verification before
classifying repository artifacts as removable. Add positive and negative
policy canaries for dependency analysis.

4. Convert these items into a compact acceptance checklist and a 3–10 step plan
for non-trivial work.
+### Unused and Removal Conclusions
+
+Apply this gate to every analysis or change that classifies code, dependencies,
+configuration, resources, test support, or another repository artifact as
+unused or removable.
+
+1. Distinguish absence of direct references from complete unused evidence. A
+ single text or regex search, or a production-only search, proves at most
that
+ no direct reference was found and cannot justify a removal recommendation.
+2. Inspect semantic and indirect consumers appropriate to the artifact,
+ including reflection, generated code, registrations, SPI and
`ServiceLoader`,
+ JDBC driver discovery, Maven scopes, profiles, plugins and transitive
+ dependencies, build/test/runtime classpaths, test JARs, packaging and
+ distributions, tests, E2E, and external consumers.
+3. Inspect Git history and linked issue, pull-request, CI, and failure evidence
+ for prior additions, removals, and restorations. A prior removal failure
+ makes the artifact indirectly required unless same-boundary evidence proves
+ that the failure was unrelated or that the dependency is obsolete.
+4. Classify each examined artifact as directly used, indirectly required,
+ purpose unresolved, or a verified removal candidate. Use purpose unresolved
+ when evidence is incomplete. Use verified removal candidate only after a
+ controlled removal experiment, or equivalent existing evidence, covers the
+ affected compilation, tests, packaging, and runtime paths.
+
When the request makes the boundary clear, infer and record it without asking
the user to repeat it. The checklist is the maximum change boundary. Every
changed file and hunk must satisfy it; nearby cleanup and unrelated failures do
