Summary

• Adds a self-contained reproducibility-badge-verification-gate/ module for SCIBASE issue #15.
• Verifies primary reproducibility badge issuance from independent reproduction evidence: artifact checksums, environment digests, output matches, test results, run-log checksums, disclosures, and author/collaborator conflicts.
• Produces deterministic bronze/silver/gold, revise, or hold decisions with reviewer actions and generated JSON, Markdown, SVG, and MP4 artifacts from synthetic data only.

Non-overlap

This slice focuses on first-time reproducibility badge verification. It intentionally avoids duplicating existing issue #15 work on broad reputation ledgers, appeal guardrails, review calibration, COI assignment, endorsement rings, badge renewal, leaderboards, civility checks, timeliness credits, mentorship ladders, anonymous identity checks, and transparency receipts.
