Require an answer to declare what grounds it, once per question
`CitationPolicyCapability` makes the single enforcement decision, whatever mix of
evidence capabilities is registered: two of them must not each demand a citation for
one answer. It decides in `after_model_request`, when a response carries no tool calls
and the question can still be redirected. An explicitly ungrounded answer is a
declaration and is left alone; a question that gathered no evidence is left alone too,
read from the ledger rather than from a searches dict that a new question clears. When
the cite tool is already withdrawn the question is recorded in
`CitationPolicyState.violations` instead of pointing the model at a tool that is gone.

Registering it is the only switch. `DiscoveredEvidence` and discovery move to
`capabilities.evidence` so both optional capabilities share them, and `cite_available`
joins `evidence_tool_names` as public for the same reason.

Measured on Qwen3.6-35B over two arms of 37 questions, 29 of them unanswerable from
the corpus: explicit ungrounded declarations rose from 23 to 26, grounded answers to
unanswerable questions fell from 4 to 2, answerable questions stayed at 8 of 8, and
one redirect fired in the whole arm. Reading every answer found no invented grounding.
