premise-count-is-per-justification-max
IN premise
`premise_count` in the return value reports the maximum antecedent count across the node's justifications, not the total across all justifications (any_mode with 3 premises returns 1, not 3).
Summary
The system tracks how many supporting reasons a belief has, but when a belief has multiple independent justifications, it reports the size of the largest single justification rather than adding them all together. This matters for anyone interpreting the premise_count field — a belief justified three separate ways by one fact each will show a count of 1, not 3, which could be surprising if you expect a total.
