Feat: Add PRB-level correctness suite for AIAC eval framework

[Amitfre15]

Summary

Adds a PRB-level correctness suite to the AIAC eval framework (aiac/eval/): a reusable
precision/recall + denial-precision scorer (correctness_scorer.py) and a new
eval_correctness_prb-marked suite (test_policy_pipeline_correctness_prb.py) that scores the
Policy Rules Builder's raw output against the existing 8-scenario truth-table corpus, direct
against the PRB (no Keycloak/OPA in the loop).

• Zero-tolerance over-grant gate — a scenario only passes if it produced no over-grants in
  any gate. Under-grants and incorrectly-denied pairs are tracked and reported but do not fail the
  run yet (threshold TBD, per the originating spec).
• Scorer is generic, not PRB-specific — it operates on any caller's own
  granted/denied/expected gate-classified pair sets, so a future end-to-end suite can reuse
  it without reimplementing scoring.
• Corpus rewrite — all 16 scenario policy.eval_*.md files (base + perturbed) were rewritten
  to read like human-authored access-control text instead of exposing the pipeline's internal gate
  vocabulary, which both this suite and the new spec doc depend on.
• Markdown report wiring — eval_correctness_prb is registered in conftest.py's MARKERS
  with its own render branch (precision/recall/denial-precision plus the
  over-grants/under-grants/incorrectly-denied breakdown per gate), so this detail is visible on
  every run, not only when a scenario over-grants.
• New spec: docs/specs/eval/policy-eval-correctness-prb.md.

Runs opt-in, cluster-free (LLM only, no Keycloak/OPA):

.venv/bin/pytest eval/ -m eval_correctness_prb

Acceptance criteria (from #2089)

• Per-scenario precision/recall reporting from a synthetic-backend run
• Over-grants fail the run; under-grants are surfaced without failing it
• Corpus cross-checked against legacy taxonomy, gaps filled (the cross-check in the spec
  confirms the existing 8-scenario corpus already covers every taxonomy theme; no new scenarios
  were needed)
• Scorer built as a distinct, reusable component (correctness_scorer.py is pure logic,
  gate-generic, no I/O)

Test plan

• .venv/bin/pytest eval/test_correctness_scorer.py eval/test_policy_pipeline_correctness_prb.py -q
  passes (9 passed, 8 deselected)
• Default pytest test/ collection is unaffected — eval_correctness_prb is excluded by
  pyproject.toml's default -m
• Suite skips cleanly without an LLM endpoint configured

Out of scope (tracked separately, per the spec)

• End-to-end (Keycloak+OPA) correctness scoring — deferred to
  rossoctl/rossoctl#2090;
  correctness_scorer.py is designed to be reused there.
• A committed trend log across runs — deferred to
  rossoctl/rossoctl#2091.

Closes rossoctl/rossoctl#2089

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a reusable precision/recall scorer and a PRB-level correctness suite. The suite evaluates eight natural-language policy scenarios, reports grant and denial metrics, fails on over-grants, and integrates with pytest reporting and documentation.

Changes

PRB correctness evaluation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Correctness contract and policy corpus aiac/docs/specs/..., aiac/eval/scenarios/*, aiac/eval/scenarios_perturbed/*, aiac/test/integration/*	Defines scorer behavior, reporting rules, taxonomy coverage, environment requirements, and corpus scope. Rewrites policy scenarios into natural-language text while preserving truth tables and metadata.
Scoring logic and unit validation aiac/eval/correctness_scorer.py, aiac/eval/test_correctness_scorer.py	Adds immutable gate and scenario score models, precision/recall calculations, denial precision, pair classifications, and zero-tolerance over-grant status. Unit tests cover exact matches, over-grants, under-grants, denials, aggregation, and empty inputs.
PRB execution and reporting aiac/eval/test_policy_pipeline_correctness_prb.py, aiac/eval/conftest.py, aiac/pyproject.toml, aiac/CLAUDE.md	Adds the marked, parameterized PRB test. It runs the builder with LLM configuration, scores returned rules, records metrics, and fails on over-grants. Pytest configuration and reports support the new marker and properties.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6241d

The new PRB correctness suite adds scoring and reporting without changing default test collection. It is close to merge-ready, but the specification needs a Markdown fence language and an accurate directory reference so documentation linting and navigation remain correct.

#	File	Severity	Finding
1	aiac/eval/conftest.py (load_dotenv path change)	suggestion	Silently relocates the auto-loaded .env from test/integration/.env to eval/.env, affecting every sibling eval suite. Not mentioned in the PR's stated scope — confirm intentional.
2	aiac/eval/conftest.py (elif "precision" in props and "recall" in props:)	suggestion	Render branch guard checks two keys but the body accesses a third (denial_precision) unconditionally — latent KeyError risk for a future caller, not a live bug today.
3	aiac/docs/specs/eval/policy-eval-correctness-prb.md	nit	Describes the report's dispatch as name-based (test_prb_correctness) when it's actually structural (keyed on precision/recall presence). Correct in effect, imprecise about mechanism.
