arXiv:2609.36958v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Repeated verifier calls are useful only when they contribute conditional information. We introduce VStress, an auditable replay contract, and VStress-CA, a correlation-aware allocation policy that estimates the conditional marginal information of an unqueried verifier on a sealed calibration split, discounts uncertainty, normalizes by call cost, and stops or abstains when the next call is not informative. The controller freezes its decision and cost ledger before joining the clean oracle; a dependence-shift alarm disables channel prefer
