Lands aborist/qa/quantifier_reminder.py with broad_quantifier_
reminder(): one-line user-turn message restating the cap and the
[E\d+] citation rule for broad-intensity questions. Two templates:
bounded universe:
"This is a broad-quantifier query with a bounded universe.
Return at most N pointer-linked claim lines. Each claim must
cite an evidence id like [E5]; do not write claim lines
without bracket citations."
unbounded universe:
"This is a broad-quantifier query with an under-specified scope.
Return at most N pointer-linked claim lines. If you cannot
ground N claims with evidence IDs, return fewer grounded
claims. Do not enumerate from training prior. Each claim must
cite an evidence id like [E5]; do not write claim lines
without bracket citations."
The bounded template skips the "do not enumerate from training
prior" clause — the corpus has the answer set. Unknown scope falls
through to the stricter unbounded template (over-warn rather than
under-warn).
Wired into both query() and runner.ask() at the same insertion
point as the existing grounding_reminder — between
grounding_reminder and the evidence/question payload, where
Hermes-3-8B's most-recent-token attention catches it.
Default OFF (`quantifier_reminder_enabled: false`). Empirical
justification: ticket §3 Option B con notes Hermes already ignores
parts of the existing reminder under enumeration pressure. The
mechanism lands so an operator can A/B test cap-only vs cap+reminder
without code changes; default flips on after bench shows ≥5pp delta
on FORMAT_COLLAPSED or pointer-loss rate per §10.8.
`quantifier_reminder_enabled` folded into _VERIFIER_POLICY_FIELDS
so flipping the switch invalidates prior cache records.
19 new tests cover: gating (non-broad → None, missing cap → None,
None intensity → None), bounded-vs-unbounded template selection,
unknown scope falls back to unbounded, cap interpolation,
[E\d+] citation rule restatement, governance-hash invalidation.
