─────────────────────────────────────
Uncertainty-aware localisation pipeline.
Wraps the Phase 3 LocalisationPipeline to add:
1. Per-file confidence scores (from ConformalPredictor)
2. Token budget gating β€” skip low-confidence files (<threshold)
3. Adaptive top-k β€” expand/contract prediction set size based on uncertainty
4. Confidence report for the UI dashboard
The key insight: don't send 10 files to the LLM when you're only
confident about 2. Conformal prediction tells you the minimum set of
files needed to achieve 90% recall guarantee.
Token budget reduction: instead of always sending 10 files Γ— 150 lines
= 15,000 tokens, we send only the prediction set (avg ~2.3 files on
confident instances) = ~3,450 tokens. This drops token cost by ~77%
on easy issues while maintaining the coverage guarantee.
