feat(reader): integrate mass-noun comparative logic for case 0148

Commits the WIP parser integration and recognizer logic left by previous session. Updates graph logic, refusal taxonomy filters, roundtrip token matching, and recognizer_match patterns to formally support mass-noun comparatives.
Passes exact holdout_dev/v1 261-case measurement and full smoke validation.
