_done email verifier API

The email verifier API from _done -- 1 operation. POST /verify takes one email address and returns a deliverability verdict (valid/risky/invalid), splits username and domain, and flags free-provider domains and role accounts. Verified 2026-09-03: the spec resolves, an invented control path 404s, and an unpaid POST /verify answers 402 -- the x402 door works as the catalog describes. Submitted by the provider via apis.io/add (1a293a63); the build gate parked it as a curated-record collision and it was merged by hand, which is the designed path.

Operations 1
