Shay 06450928c9 refactor(comprehension): typed expression IR as the source of meaning (PR-4)
Internal hygiene + future-proofing. No serving path, no new capability — the 15-case
reader is structurally cleaner and the projection no longer recovers meaning by
re-parsing a string.

- New generate/quantitative_expr.py: a typed Expr IR (Literal/Symbol/Add/Sub/SumOf) with
  to_canonical_string (BYTE-IDENTICAL to the legacy "ref + delta" / "ref - delta" / "a + b"
  format), dependencies, operation_kind, and to_relation (the structured projection).
- The reader builds the Expr per equation as the SOURCE OF MEANING; rhs_canonical,
  dependencies, and operation_kind are all DERIVED from it (BoundEquation stays a string —
  the binding-graph's deliberate decoupling layer is untouched). QuantComprehension carries
  the IR as equation_exprs.
- to_relational_metric reads the IR via to_relation — the rhs_canonical string-reparse is
  GONE. An unhandled equation shape refuses (None).
- The dead _rhs string builder is removed.

Gates held: relational_metric answer lane 15/15 wrong=0; setup-oracle 15/15 setup_wrong=0;
malformed-target refusals intact; realize-binding-graph + architectural invariants green
(95). rhs_canonical is byte-identical, so the binding-graph + downstream hashes are
unchanged. No model change.

This is the foundation PR-5's R1 frames build on — structured equations, not string parsing
— and only after independent R1 gold is hand-authored.

"""Arithmetic word-problem comprehension -> binding_graph (Phase 2b, domain 5).
The doctrine-aligned quantity reader, and the binding-graph's FIRST comprehension
consumer. Quantities live in the ``binding_graph`` substrate — CLAUDE.md: the
``MeaningGraph`` deliberately excludes quantities — so this reader lives OUTSIDE
``generate/meaning_graph`` (which stays a numeric-free interlingua, INV-28) and
targets the binding-graph instead.
It reads arithmetic prose ("Liam has 6 stickers. Mia has 4 more stickers than
Liam.") into ``SymbolBinding`` / ``BoundFact`` / ``BoundEquation`` and runs the
REAL ``check_admissibility`` — there is NO stamped "admitted": an equation is
admitted only if its operand units actually verify, and a dimensional mismatch
REFUSES the whole reading. ``to_relational_metric`` then projects the binding-graph
into the independent ``relational_metric`` oracle for scoring.
Templates (function-word + order; digits only — a non-digit quantity REFUSES):
- ``<X> has <N> <unit>`` -> BoundFact(X = N [unit])
- ``<Y> has <N> more <unit> than <X>`` -> BoundEquation(Y = X + N) op=add
- ``<Y> has <N> fewer <unit> than <X>`` -> BoundEquation(Y = X - N) op=subtract
- query ``How many <unit> does <Y> have`` -> ask Y
- query ``How many <unit> do <X> and <Y> have`` -> total = X + Y; ask total
Refusal-first: an unparseable clause, a non-digit quantity, a non-identifier name,
a missing/duplicated query, or an admissibility refusal all return a typed
``Refusal`` — never a fabricated quantity (wrong=0 at the comprehension layer).
