Returns coverage ("required", "not_required" or "verify") with the reason, the governing permit and the version the answer was computed against, the jurisdiction and its permitting authority, the permit's eligibility screens, the requirements that attach to THIS site (each with the permit section it came from and a `because` explaining why it applies here rather than in general), the step-by-step derivation, and `notices`. ALWAYS surface `notices` verbatim to the user: it carries the preparer-credential warning, any coverage gap, and the fact that we do not perform the physical site inspections the permit requires. Deterministic, no model in the path. Requirements come back ONLY where we hold the governing permit's rules; where a state permit is identified but unread, `requirements` is empty and a notice says so rather than substituting the federal permit's numbers, so never treat an empty list as "nothing required". Free, no API key needed.

This is the answer that decides whether a generated document is the operator's deliverable or a DRAFT for a credentialed person to review and sign, so `documentStatus` states that consequence in plain language on every response. `gate` is "open", "gated", "conditional" or "unknown"; a state we have not verified returns "unknown" and must never be treated as open. `appliesToThisSite` is null when the trigger is an acreage threshold you did not give acres for, or a plan-scope test we cannot resolve from site facts.

Same engine and same parser as determine_permit, projected down. The coverage verdict, the eligibility screens and the notices come with it, because a requirement list detached from whether coverage is triggered at all is a half-answer. An empty `requirements` array with a notice means we have not read that jurisdiction's permit, NOT that nothing is required. Free, no API key needed.

Call it once at the start of a long task to pace yourself, rather than discovering the ceiling as a rate_limited error halfway through. Takes no arguments. Free, no API key needed.
