Cross-lingual: same truth, four languages

Ground truth: exact counts of planted false statements and of facts mentioned, as in the verifiable eval, identical in English, Spanish, German and Japanese by construction. Each language version is rendered from hand-written sentence templates filled with the same invented names, numbers and planted errors, with no machine translation that could drift. python examples/crosslingual_eval.py verify recounts everything in every language.

If a judge’s answer about the same pair changes with the language, its answers depend on something other than the content. That inconsistency is the signal.
