A question naming a requirement number now delivers that requirement at rank 1
on all three vegnormal bundles (was 96, 9, 35 of 446, 1 133, 270). Two
mechanisms, both measured, both default because no published figure moves.
The matcher: `tokens_match` compared four leading characters, so the unique
identifier `3.3.1-13` read as 135 of 446 common and the rarity weight ranked a
common adjective above the number naming the document. An identifier now
matches by equality alone; df falls to 1/1/1. Words keep the prefix rule, which
was measured for Norwegian compounds. Equality has no floor either, so a
three-character identifier stops matching nothing at all -- measured, `9.2`
reached 0 concepts while sitting verbatim in one title.
The lookup: a question carrying an identifier that sits verbatim in a concept's
title or id is answered by a partition over the fusion's output, not by a
fourth signal. The form was chosen by measurement -- a fourth RRF signal was
simulated first and put the gold at rank 26 / 15 / 19, none of them delivered,
because RRF consumes ranks only and one signal contributes at most 1/(RRF_K+1).
No frontmatter key list is declared: of 1 846 concepts carrying `req_number`,
1 846 also carry that identifier in the title.
The matcher alone is NOT a monotone win (N200 9 -> 26, because that gold's body
cross-references a neighbouring number that the prefix rule counted as a hit on
the question's). Only the partition delivers; the table is in the record.
Consumer corpus: every named control byte-identical against a frozen
`git archive` copy of 116d3e1 -- four payload digests, eight candidate ranks,
six hit@8 rows, both known-negatives. One document that was withheld at
position 621 of 621 is now delivered at rank 1, on a corpus with no
requirement-number grammar at all.
13 tests (12 red before the rules existed), 7 mutations, 7 red. 1 320 passed.
Consumption-side only; no bundle ref moves.
