I am going to run a read-only SQLite command to inspect the schema of the `nodes` table in `reasons.db` to see if there is a `verified_at` column. This will help verify if assigning the attribute in python actually corresponds to a schema column that gets persisted.
### ftl_code_expert/cli.py:verify
VERDICT: CONCERN
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: UNTESTED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: 
1. **Private/Internal API Usage:** The code imports `_with_network` from `reasons_lib.api`. In Python, leading underscores denote private APIs. Directly accessing internal functions makes the integration fragile to upstream refactoring in the `ftl-reasons` package. If a public CLI or stable API exists (e.g., `reasons set-metadata`), it would be much more robust.
2. **Missing Guard Check:** The logic runs unconditionally whenever `confirmed` is not empty. In other parts of `cli.py`, database access is guarded by checking if `_has_reasons() and Path("reasons.db").exists()`. Without this guard, if `reasons_lib` is installed in the environment but `reasons.db` doesn't exist, calling `_with_network("reasons.db", write=True)` may create an empty/unwanted `reasons.db` file in the directory.
3. **Redundant Imports:** `datetime` is already imported at the module level in `cli.py` (line 10), so re-importing it locally is redundant.
4. **Untested:** The codebase lacks any automated unit tests to verify database stamping, error handling, or command integration.

### pyproject.toml
VERDICT: PASS
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: N/A
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: 
- Correctly links `ftl-reasons` as a local path dependency in `[tool.uv.sources]` and `[dependency-groups]`.
- Keeping `ftl-reasons` as an optional/dev dependency is consistent with the codebase's architecture, where reasons-based persistence is treated as an optional feature and does not force a mandatory dependency on standard users.

### SELF_REVIEW
LIMITATIONS:
- Could not directly read `.venv/lib/python3.14/site-packages/reasons_lib/api.py` in the main session due to Gitignore constraints, though a subagent was delegated to verify its internal auto-persistence and API attributes.
- No functional spec or issue description was provided, restricting the review strictly to integration safety and correctness.
