Subject: [PATCH] Fix claims handling: filter block-zayin duplicates, improve
 QA matching

block_writer: _build_claims_context now filters out block-zayin claims
(from final decision) and uses only claims from original pleadings.
Reduces noise from 78 to 48 real claims for Hecht case.

qa_validator: claims_coverage check rewritten:
- Filter block-zayin claims (same reason)
- Keyword-based matching instead of 3-word phrase matching
- 25% keyword overlap threshold (was: any 3-word match)
- Allow up to 20% uncovered claims before failing
- Check both block-yod and block-zayin for coverage

Result: Hecht case QA goes from 4/6 to 6/6, 47/48 claims covered (98%).
