A lens whose verdict is "No material issues found" still tends to write
path:line references — but as verification notes ("verified X at
file:line is safe"), not problems. The telemetry was extracting those as
findings, which (a) pollutes the gadfly-reports store with false
positives and (b) unfairly penalizes thorough reviewers that do clean
passes — the FP penalty hit clean security passes from claude-code/sonnet,
deepseek, and minimax even though they correctly found nothing.
emit() now skips findings extraction for a clean-verdict lens (the run is
still recorded). Surfaced by grading the dogfood reviews: a large share
of "false positives" were exactly these clean-verification bullets.
Added TestEmit_SkipsCleanVerdictLens; README telemetry section updated.
gofmt clean, go vet quiet, go test -race green.
