great question! the verifier pass actually operates more as an "assistant" gate so we can expand the token vocabulary.
jev allows 255 decisions (token vocabulary here), so if we want to support a token vocabulary of 1000, we have to parallelize into multiple jev calls to allow that expansion. the verifier pass simply chooses the best out of the parallel decisions so we can exceed the 255 decision limit. in theory this should allow for up to 255^2 token limit, but if you increase the verifier depth you can increase that exponential factor as much as you want (it'll be slow though)
