ticket(#000008,#000006,index): §12.6 reminder A/B verdict + cross-refs
§12.6 in #000008 captures the 2026-05-03T12-38-53Z reminder-only
A/B (apply_caps=False, reminder=True) on the same 9-question
broad subset:

  Mode      | Strict-rate    | Mean ratio        | UNGROUNDED
  ----------+----------------+-------------------+-----------
  quote     | 0.56 → 0.52    | 0.900 → 0.845     |  0 → 0
  pointer   | 0.00 → 0.00    | 0.473 → 0.643     |  9 → 6
  JSON      | 0.19 → 0.22    | 0.524 → 0.735     |  7 → 1

Pointer-mode violation deltas:
  FORMAT_COLLAPSED      2 →  0  (-100%)
  NO_EVIDENCE_POINTER   9 →  6  ( -33%)
  TITLE_MISMATCH       10 → 15  ( +50%)  ← side effect
  TOO_MANY_CLAIMS       7 →  8  ( +14%)

§10.8 gate verdict: MET. Both FORMAT_COLLAPSED and NO_EVIDENCE_
POINTER cleared the 5pp floor (−7pp absolute / −11pp absolute
respectively). Strongest signals are mean-ratio improvements
(+17pp pointer, +21pp JSON) — grounded rows ground BETTER under
reminder. JSON-mode UNGROUNDED dropped 7 → 1, a 22pp redistribution
from "didn't ground" to "partially grounded".

Caveat: TITLE_MISMATCH increased (+50%). Reminder may pressure
Hermes to cite *something* rather than say "no evidence", picking
up wrong-source citations as a side effect.

Recommendation: §10.8 gate met but hold default flip until §12.7
(cap-only) and §12.8 (cap+reminder) cells run, per §10.8 "if A+B
together outperform either alone by ≥5pp: land Option D".
