Hlido verdict

Hlido tested both. Pydantic AI scored 78 (STEADY); Zebrium scored 65 (FADING). Pydantic AI leads by 13 points. Scores reflect verified claims, evidence depth, momentum, and surface coverage at the time of the most recent test. Re-tested periodically — drift over time is itself a signal.
