Counter-family extension estimators #
This module connects a correct finite counter family to the exact bounded semantic estimator contract used by anti-checker round composition.

Inside the required prefix range, the total estimator evaluates the counter indexed by the current prefix length.

Correctness of every finite counter turns the induced total estimator into the bounded accuracy contract required by round composition.

At every sufficiently large nonzero arity, a correct conditional counter family yields an exact-length anti-checker for every hard target.
