+//! Document type classifier engine (Phase 5.6.2).
+//!
+//! This module implements the rule evaluation engine that evaluates
+//! document type profiles against extracted feature signals and returns
+//! the highest-scoring classification.
+//!
+//! # Architecture
+//!
+//! The classifier:
+//! 1. Evaluates each profile's predicates against the feature signals
+//! 2. Computes a normalized score [0, 1] for each profile
+//! 3. Selects the highest-scoring profile above its threshold
+//! 4. Returns `ClassificationResult` with the winning type, confidence,
+//!    matched reasons, and runner-up information
+//!
+//! # Score Normalization
+//!
+//! Profile scores are normalized to [0, 1] by dividing the sum of matched
+//! predicate weights by the sum of all predicate weights. This ensures that
+//! profiles with more predicates don't have an unfair advantage.
