"""Verify a Souveraine hash-chained JSONL trail.
Reads the forensic trail (or SessionAudit's — same contract) and checks that
every entry's hash covers its own body and that each `prev` is the previous
entry's hash. DEVICE-STATE-MACHINE.md §11 called the trail tamper-evident and
listed this as owed: evidence nobody checks is not evidence.
The contract, in one sentence: strip the trailing `,"hash":"<hex>"`, close the
object, SHA-256 what is left.
Rotation is expected, not an error — the live file's first entry chains onto
the last entry of `.jsonl.1`, so a single file verified alone opens with a
`prev` it cannot see. Pass the generations oldest-first to check across them.
